Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 69737 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables tubulin-tyrosine ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within microtubule cytoskeleton organization and regulation of axon extension. Predicted to be located in microtubule. Predicted to be active in spindle microtubule. Is expressed in musculature and nervous system. Orthologous to human TTL (tubulin tyrosine ligase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display neonatal lethality, impaired breathing, and fail to form the internal capsule in the brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
