Primary Identifier | MGI:1933366 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 83671 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables neurexin family protein binding activity. Involved in exocytosis and positive regulation of mucus secretion. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in melanosome and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human SYTL2 (synaptotagmin like 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display abnormal gastric surface mucus cell morphology and reduced basal mucin secretion from gastric cells [provided by MGI curators] |
