Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 18011 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables translation factor activity, non-nucleic acid binding and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of filopodium assembly; positive regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; and regulation of synapse organization. Acts upstream of or within lactation; positive regulation of epidermal growth factor-activated receptor activity; and sperm axoneme assembly. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; perikaryon; and plasma membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including limb; limb bud; nervous system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human NEURL1 (neuralized E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1). PHENOTYPE: Depending on the targeted mutation, homozygotes show a spectrum of conflicting phenotypes ranging from axonemal and spermatid abnormalities, male sterility and deficient lactation, to just a specific olfactory discrimination defect and ethanol hypersensitivity on motor coordination.
