Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in neuron migration. Acts upstream of or within cerebral cortex radially oriented cell migration; inhibitory synapse assembly; and presynapse assembly. Is active in axon; cell surface; and dendrite. Is expressed in central nervous system and dorsal root ganglion. Orthologous to human MDGA1 (MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal neuronal migration during corticogenesis that is resolved by P7 [provided by MGI curators] |
