Primary Identifier | MGI:2135954 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 93960 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables PDZ domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including convergent extension; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of protein phosphatase type 2A complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; retina; and unsegmented mesenchyme. Orthologous to human NKD1 (NKD inhibitor of WNT signaling pathway 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display reduced male fertility with oligozoospermia, small testis, and small seminiferous tubules. [provided by MGI curators] |
