Primary Identifier | MGI:2442334 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 243911 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion and negative regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in plasma membrane and slit diaphragm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; foregut-midgut junction; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and spleen. Orthologous to human KIRREL2 (kirre like nephrin family adhesion molecule 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit defects in glomeruli formation in the posterior region of the accessory olfactory bulb. [provided by MGI curators] |
