Primary Identifier | MGI:1924307 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 77057 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cargo adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell-substrate junction organization; platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and ruffle assembly. Located in cell leading edge; cell projection; and clathrin-coated pit. Is expressed in genitourinary system. Orthologous to several human genes including STON1 (stonin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are overtly normal. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from homozygous null mice display alterations in focal adhesion dynamics and an increase in cellular signaling and directional cell migration.
