Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 53883 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity and calcium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; and neural plate anterior/posterior regionalization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cerebrospinal fluid secretion; cilium assembly; and nervous system development. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; skin; and visual system. Used to study hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human CELSR2 (cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this allele have mild to moderately dilated lateral ventricles in the brain but are otherwise normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
