Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 21335 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein domain specific binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including astral microtubule organization; cytoplasmic sequestering of transcription factor; and nervous system development. Located in centrosome and cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mutations cause embryonic growth delay and prenatal death. Homozygotes for a null allele show hematopoietic deficiencies and severe facial clefts. Homozygotes for a hypomorphic allele die neonatally with malformed axial skeletons due to failed mitosis in mesenchymal sclerotome cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
