Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 76123 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G-protein alpha-subunit binding activity and GDP-dissociation inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within response to light intensity. Located in lateral cell cortex. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage conceptus; gonad; lung; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human GPSM2 (G protein signaling modulator 2). PHENOTYPE: Targeted disruption of this gene randomizes the spindle orientation of normally planar neuroepithelial divisions. The ensuing loss of the apical membrane from daughter cells frequently converts them into abnormally localized progenitors with no apparent effect on neuronal production. [provided by MGI curators] |
