Primary Identifier | MGI:1888518 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 57257 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including integrin-mediated signaling pathway; neutrophil chemotaxis; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb segment; metanephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human VAV3 (vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in tachycardia, systemic arterial hypertension, cardiovascular remodeling, hyperactivity of sympathetic neurons and thus high catecholamine levels, and increased levels of kidney-related hormones.
