Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 11768 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable clathrin adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within intracellular protein transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be part of AP-1 adaptor complex. Predicted to be active in clathrin-coated vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human AP1M2 (adaptor related protein complex 1 subunit mu 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show small intestine crypt hyperplasia and villous dysplasia due to altered polarity and hyperproliferation of epithelial cells, exhibit spontaneous chronic colitis due to epithelial immune dysfunction, and develop a digestive disorder that causes malnutrition, growth retardation and early death.
