| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables NAD+ binding activity; aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; and thyroid hormone binding activity. Involved in Harderian gland development; embryonic camera-type eye development; and nose development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic organ morphogenesis; nucleus accumbens development; and olfactory pit development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in isolated microphthalmia 8. Orthologous to human ALDH1A3 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mice show neonatal death and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. Homozygotes for a null allele have choanal atresia, ethmoturbinal hypoplasia, ventral lens rotation, short ventral retina and no Harderian gland. Homozygotes for another allele show thick neural retina and no vitreum. [provided by MGI curators] |
