Primary Identifier | MGI:2443415 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 239852 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within vestibular reflex. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cell surface and extracellular space. Is expressed in axial skeleton; cochlea; femur; fibula; and tibia. Orthologous to human ZPLD1 (zona pellucida like domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Spontaneous mutations in this gene cause hyperactive circling behavior and impaired vestibuloocular reflex but do not affect vestibular sensory evoked potential responses, otolith organs or hearing. In contrast, mice homozygous for a null allele have normal hearing and do not show circling behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
