Primary Identifier | MGI:1099804 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 215114 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including AP-2 adaptor complex binding activity; phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity; and protein dimerization activity. Involved in endocytosis; presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; heart; and testis. Orthologous to human HIP1 (huntingtin interacting protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants may exhibit axial skeleton defects, hematopotietic abnormalities, and testicular degeneration with increased apoptosis of postmeiotic spermatids. One line showed microphthalmia and cataracts, whereas others did not. [provided by MGI curators] |
