Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 30931 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and misfolded protein binding activity. Involved in ERAD pathway; protein localization to nucleus; and wound healing, spreading of cells. Acts upstream of or within nuclear membrane organization. Located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen and nuclear envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and urinary system. Used to study focal dystonia and torsion dystonia 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita-5 and torsion dystonia 1. Orthologous to human TOR1A (torsin family 1 member A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene die either embryonically or very soon after birth. Heterozygous males display hyperactivity and coordination difficulties.
