Primary Identifier | MGI:1351638 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 27418 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell-matrix adhesion; neurotransmitter receptor transport postsynaptic membrane to endosome; and regulation of cell shape. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; nucleoplasm; and ruffle. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; postsynaptic endosome membrane; and postsynaptic specialization membrane of symmetric synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ epithelium. Orthologous to human MKLN1 (muskelin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit abnormal high-frequency ripple oscillation associated with GABA receptor internalization, intracellular trafficking, and degradation.
