Primary Identifier | MGI:2150309 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 114873 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in dendrite self-avoidance and negative regulation of cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in axon and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; nose; and spleen. Orthologous to human DSCAML1 (DS cell adhesion molecule like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit impaired self-avoidance in multiple cell types in the retina. [provided by MGI curators] |
