Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cochlea morphogenesis; heart development; and morphogenesis of an epithelium. Located in cell-cell junction and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; paraxial mesenchyme; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PTK7 (protein tyrosine kinase 7 (inactive)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele die perinatally with defects in neural tube closure and planar cell polarity in the ear. ENU-induced mutant mice show omphalocele, impaired neural tube, heart and lung development, rib defects, polydactyly, failed eyelid closure and altered cell polarity. [provided by MGI curators] |
