Primary Identifier | MGI:2154274 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 259300 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including plasma membrane tubulation; positive regulation of endocytic recycling; and positive regulation of myoblast fusion. Acts upstream of or within cortical actin cytoskeleton organization and endocytosis. Located in caveola; cytosol; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; neural tube; and vascular element. Orthologous to human EHD2 (EH domain containing 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozgyous for a null allele exhibit increased lipid accumulation in adipocytes with increased caveolae cycling. [provided by MGI curators] |
