Primary Identifier | MGI:106014 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 18221 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitotic metaphase chromosome alignment; mitotic spindle organization; and protein folding. Predicted to be located in cytosol; midbody; and mitotic spindle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NUDC (nuclear distribution C, dynein complex regulator). PHENOTYPE: Rod photoreceptor-specific knock-out mice show complete rod photoreceptor degeneration and photopic and scotopic dysfunction, with glial inflammation, abnormal trafficking of and loss of rhodopsin, and mislocalization of mitochondria.
