Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 11658 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within motor neuron axon guidance. Located in axon; external side of plasma membrane; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart and pericardium; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ALCAM (activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display abnormal motor neuron and retinal ganglion cell morphology and retinal dysplasia.
