Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 99683 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including artery morphogenesis; nervous system development; and regulation of establishment of planar polarity involved in neural tube closure. Part of COPII vesicle coat. Is expressed in cochlear duct and embryo. Orthologous to human SEC24B (SEC24 homolog B, COPII coat complex component). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU induced mutation exhibit craniorachischisis, abnormal embryo shape, omphalocele, disoriented hair cells, and failure of eyelid fusion.
