| Primary Identifier | MGI:108075 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 319757 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oxysterol binding activity; protein kinase A catalytic subunit binding activity; and protein sequestering activity. Involved in several processes, including regionalization; regulation of animal organ morphogenesis; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regionalization. Located in several cellular components, including centriole; ciliary membrane; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment. Is active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Used to study medulloblastoma and pulmonary emphysema. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal cell carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; malignant pleural mesothelioma; pancreatic cancer; and pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Orthologous to human SMO (smoothened, frizzled class receptor). PHENOTYPE: Both an ENU-induced mutation and a null mutation are midgestation lethal. Observed defects include failure of neural tube closure and heart and gut defects. Conditional knockouts in chondrocytes and dental epithelium result in short long bones and dentalepithelium derivative defects, respectively. [provided by MGI curators] |
