Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 208618 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in embryonic skeletal system development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and surface ectoderm. Orthologous to human KIAA1217 (KIAA1217). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene-trapped allele display malformations of the notochord and caudal vertebrae and may exhibit caudal tail kinks. Mice homozygous for another gene-trapped allele have malformed caudal vertebrae and intervertebral disk abnormalities; about half display kinked tails. [provided by MGI curators] |
