Primary Identifier | MGI:1354962 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 50797 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi vesicle transport and intracellular protein transport. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including incisor; liver lobe; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 19. Orthologous to human COPB2 (COPI coat complex subunit beta 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display early embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
