Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 77254 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; protein targeting to membrane; and sperm flagellum assembly. Located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment. Is expressed in diaphragm; extensor digitorum longus; heart; soleus; and tibialis anterior. Orthologous to human YIF1B (Yip1 interacting factor homolog B, membrane trafficking protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit alterations in Golgi vesicle transport and Golgi architecture in pyramidal hippocampal neurons. [provided by MGI curators] |
