Primary Identifier | MGI:1096376 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 20336 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables PDZ domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within paraxial mesoderm formation and protein transmembrane transport. Located in growth cone membrane; microvillus; and myelin sheath abaxonal region. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; ganglia; and retina. Orthologous to human EXOC4 (exocyst complex component 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display embryonic abnormatlities. Gastrulation is not completed and mesoderm formation is abnormal. Death occurs before E10.5.
