| Primary Identifier | MGI:105100 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 12388 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables cell-cell adhesion mediator activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis and positive regulation of protein localization to cell-cell junction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glomerulus morphogenesis; positive regulation of protein metabolic process; and salivary gland development. Located in several cellular components, including apicolateral plasma membrane; bicellular tight junction; and lamellipodium. Part of flotillin complex. Is active in adherens junction. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-8 cell stage embryo; alimentary system; central nervous system; metanephros; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in blepharocheilodontic syndrome 2. Orthologous to human CTNND1 (catenin delta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene die shortly after birth and have morphological abnormalities of the salivary glands and lacrimal gland. [provided by MGI curators] |
