Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 70433 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; negative regulation of neuron projection development; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of axon extension and negative regulation of hippocampal neuron apoptotic process. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; future brain; neural retina; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human DRAXIN (dorsal inhibitory axon guidance protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show defasciculation of spinal cord commissural axons and absence of all forebrain commissures. Male homozygous mutant mice exhibited a decreased mean serum insulin level. [provided by MGI curators] |
