Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including camera-type eye development; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study holoprosencephaly 11. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in holoprosencephaly 11. Orthologous to human CDON (cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display facial defects characteristic of microform holoprosencephaly, are runted, and are prone to death prior to weaning. [provided by MGI curators] |
