Primary Identifier | MGI:2152938 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 259302 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse assembly. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study schizophrenia. Orthologous to human SRGAP3 (SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a reduction in spine density in the brain CA1 and cortical layers IV/V. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit a neurodevelopment disorder with schizophrenia-related intermediate phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
