Primary Identifier | MGI:2385155 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 228662 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in cerebral cortex development and dendrite morphogenesis. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and paravertebral ganglion. Orthologous to human BTBD3 (BTB domain containing 3). PHENOTYPE: Knock-down in the hippocampus or homozygous knockout results in increased obsessive-compulsive disorder-like behavior and reduced exploratory behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
