Primary Identifier | MGI:1920082 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 72832 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in regulation of synapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within axonal fasciculation and olfactory bulb development. Located in growth cone. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; semicircular canal epithelium; tooth; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human CRTAC1 (cartilage acidic protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormalities in lateral olfactory tract morphology and axon fasciculation. [provided by MGI curators] |
