Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 66394 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable molecular sequestering activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of nitric-oxide synthase activity and regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain and cerebral cortex. Used to study holoprosencephaly. Orthologous to human NOSIP (nitric oxide synthase interacting protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die perinatally and exhibit holoprosencephaly, facial anomalies including cleft palate, facial midline clefting, midfacial hypoplasia, eye defects, and olfactory bulb hypoplasia.
