Primary Identifier | MGI:2139054 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 277463 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables clathrin heavy chain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Located in clathrin-coated vesicle and early endosome. Orthologous to human GPR107 (G protein-coupled receptor 107). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene causes complete embryonic lethality during organogenesis, associated with reduced expression of genes implicated in the cubilin-megalin multi-ligand endocytic receptor complex. Homozygous null MEFs show defects in receptor-mediated endocytosis and recycling. [provided by MGI curators] |
