Primary Identifier | MGI:1858225 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 53857 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in spermatid development. Is active in acrosomal vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cranial ganglion; genitourinary system; heart; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant isolated macrothrombocytopenia 2. Orthologous to human TUBA8 (tubulin alpha 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele appear neurologically normal, progress to adulthood and exhibit normal fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
