Primary Identifier | MGI:1858223 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 53870 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain; renal medulla; spinal cord; and tooth. Orthologous to human CNTN6 (contactin 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene display impaired coordination without any obvious morphological of physiological abnormalities in the brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
