Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 76441 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in dorsal spinal cord development; negative regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation; and regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial nephrotic syndrome. Orthologous to human DAAM2 (dishevelled associated activator of morphogenesis 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO in combination with homozygous Daam1 conditional KO increases the severity of the heart phenotype (abnormal ventricular morphology and pressure) of the Daam1 single KO.
