Primary Identifier | MGI:107671 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 234267 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium channel activity. Involved in neural retina development and neuron projection morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in axonal growth cone. Is expressed in central nervous system; intraembryonic coelom; metanephros; sensory organ; and upper lip. Orthologous to human GPM6A (glycoprotein M6A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in increased percentage of total body fat and total body fat mass. [provided by MGI curators] |
