Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables kinase activator activity. Involved in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and small GTPase-mediated signal transduction. Located in clathrin-coated pit; endocytic vesicle; and lamellipodium. Is active in calyx of Held; cytosol; and presynaptic endocytic zone. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human ITSN1 (intersectin 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit embryonic lethal. Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit some postnatal lethality and impaired vesicle recycling in surviving mice.
