Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within aorta development; coronary vasculature development; and ventricular septum development. Predicted to be located in centrosome; nuclear membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of dynactin complex. Is expressed in ganglia and metanephros. Orthologous to human DCTN5 (dynactin subunit 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit double outlet right ventricle (DORV), overriding aorta, and ventricular septal defect (VSD). Micrognathia, microcephaly/anencephaly and holoprosencephaly are also observed. [provided by MGI curators] |
