Primary Identifier | MGI:1890619 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 209239 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study giant axonal neuropathy 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in giant axonal neuropathy 1. Orthologous to human GAN (gigaxonin). PHENOTYPE: Null homozygotes display some muscular atrophy and motor neuron degeneration with the severity of these symptoms depending on genotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
