Primary Identifier | MGI:106672 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 12555 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity and cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; and cell-cell junction organization. Located in caveola and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; limb; and musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 3. Orthologous to human CDH15 (cadherin 15). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable, fertile, and show no apparent defects in the development, maintenance, or regeneration of skeletal muscle or in the cerebellum. [provided by MGI curators] |
