Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 14432 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calmodulin binding activity and phospholipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell fate commitment and neurogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including axon; plasma membrane; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; musculature; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GAP43 (growth associated protein 43). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit postnatal lethality, abnormal optic nerve innervation, and decreased body weight. [provided by MGI curators] |
