Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 57754 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within adult walking behavior; hindbrain development; and negative regulation of cerebellar granule cell precursor proliferation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to colocalize with mitochondrion and vesicle. Is expressed in central nervous system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; sensory organ; and urethra. Orthologous to human CEND1 (cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display impaired cerebellar development with defects in granule cell proliferation and migration and purkinje cell arborization. These defects result in a thin cerebellar molecular layer and impaired coordination in adults. [provided by MGI curators] |
