Primary Identifier | MGI:1306776 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 17754 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytoskeletal anchor activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axo-dendritic protein transport; learning or memory; and regulation of protein localization. Acts upstream of or within photoreceptor cell maintenance and sensory perception of sound. Located in several cellular components, including axon initial segment; dendritic microtubule; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in cerebral cortex marginal zone; cortical plate; cortical subplate; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human MAP1A (microtubule associated protein 1A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit Purkinje cell degeneration. Mice homozygous for a spontaneous mutation exhibit mild ataxia and Purkinje cell degeneration.
