Primary Identifier | MGI:2141950 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 233066 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in establishment of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity. Located in nuclear outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; metanephros; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 76. Orthologous to human SYNE4 (spectrin repeat containing nuclear envelope family member 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit hearing loss associated with outer hair cell degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
