Primary Identifier | MGI:2141101 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 277854 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to amino acid starvation; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and positive regulation of autophagy. Located in cytosol and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in branchial arch; genitourinary system; limb; and peripheral nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy and familial focal epilepsy with variable foci 1. Orthologous to human DEPDC5 (DEP domain containing 5, GATOR1 subcomplex subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit preweaning lethality. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in neurons exhibit reduced body weight, limb grasping, premature death, spontaneous seizure, increased brain size due to neuron hypertrophy and increased PTZ seizure susceptibility.
