| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables profilin binding activity. A structural constituent of presynaptic active zone. Involved in presynaptic actin cytoskeleton organization; protein localization to synapse; and synaptic vesicle clustering. Acts upstream of or within cytoskeleton organization; insulin secretion; and regulation of exocytosis. Located in postsynaptic density. Is expressed in nervous system and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 3. Orthologous to human PCLO (piccolo presynaptic cytomatrix protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one deletion of Pclo are viable and fertile, and display no overt abnormal phenotype. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit some premature lethality, decreased body size, and abnormal synaptic vesicle number. [provided by MGI curators] |
