Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 233552 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase activity. Involved in negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell cycle; and positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within neuron differentiation and regulation of timing of cell differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including axon; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system and neural retina. Orthologous to human GDPD5 (glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired motor neuron differentiation.
