Primary Identifier | MGI:95517 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 14174 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and growth factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inner ear morphogenesis; post-anal tail morphogenesis; and thymus development. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; egg cylinder; jaw; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FGF3 (fibroblast growth factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene have short, thickened and curved tails. Otic vesicles are somewhat smaller than normal. Mice with some alleles apparently display more severe phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
