| Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 108100 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables protein homodimerization activity and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; filopodium assembly; and generation of neurons. Acts upstream of or within dendrite development; regulation of synaptic plasticity; and wound healing. Located in neuron projection. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human BAIAP2 (BAR/IMD domain containing adaptor protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a knock-out allele show mid to late gestation lethality, developmental delay, oligodactyly, subcutaneous edema, and severely impaired cardiac and placental development. Adult homozygotes fail to regulate synaptic plasticity and exhibit hippocampus-associated learning deficits. [provided by MGI curators] |
