| Primary Identifier | MGI:98953 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 22408 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables cytokine activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including astrocyte-dopaminergic neuron signaling; central nervous system development; and embryonic brain development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; nervous system development; and regulation of protein metabolic process. Located in cell surface and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 15. Orthologous to human WNT1 (Wnt family member 1). PHENOTYPE: In mild form, homozygotes have ataxia and hypertonia, with malformation of anterior cerebellum, deep midline fissure, and impaired fertility. In the severe form, there is virtually no midbrain and cerebellum and mutants die within hours of birth. [provided by MGI curators] |
