Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in brain development; negative regulation of neuron differentiation; and neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region; plasma membrane; and side of membrane. Predicted to be active in neuron projection. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human CNTN4 (contactin 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit aberrant projection of olfactory axons to multiple glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. [provided by MGI curators] |
