Primary Identifier | MGI:1341628 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 11990 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; pigmentation; and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ATRN (attractin). PHENOTYPE: Some mutant homozygotes exhibit decreases in phaeomelanin synthesis, body weight, and adiposity; increases in locomotion, and abnormal myelination and vacuolation of the central nervous system resulting in tremors.
