Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 232910 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable clathrin adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Part of AP-2 adaptor complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in 2-cell stage embryo and 4-cell stage embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia 3. Orthologous to human AP2S1 (adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit sigma 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete lethality prior to organogenesis.
