Primary Identifier | MGI:107427 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 15572 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within learning; locomotory behavior; and neuron differentiation. Located in axon; cytoplasm; and dendrite. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; enteric nervous system; eye; intestine; and urogenital sinus. Orthologous to human ELAVL4 (ELAV like RNA binding protein 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display increased neural progenitor self-renewal and impaired neuronal differentiation, partial penetrance of hind limb clasping, and impaired coordination.
