Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of myelination. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior and neurogenesis. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita-1 and childhood absence epilepsy. Orthologous to human LGI4 (leucine rich repeat LGI family member 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant animals have an abnormal posture where the forelimbs are flexed and rotated inwards. The peripheral nervous system is delayed in myelination. [provided by MGI curators] |
