Primary Identifier | MGI:1926158 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 78908 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in lacrimal gland development. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion; lung; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lacrimal duct obstruction. Orthologous to human IGSF3 (immunoglobulin superfamily member 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show reduced migration of vagal neural crest cells and impaired development of the enteric nervous system, with defects in formation of the muscularis externa and disorganized innervation of the enteric villi in the small intestine.
