Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within dendritic spine maintenance; myoblast fusion; and visual learning. Located in axon terminus; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in mandible; maxilla; metanephros; olfactory cortex ventricular layer; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Orthologous to human TANC1 (tetratricopeptide repeat, ankyrin repeat and coiled-coil containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap vector exhibit decreased spine density in the CA3 region and impaired spatial memory. [provided by MGI curators] |
