Primary Identifier | MGI:97178 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 17758 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Acts upstream of or within establishment of spindle orientation; microtubule sliding; and mitotic spindle organization. Located in postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; musculature; and trunk mesenchyme. Orthologous to human MAP4 (microtubule associated protein 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele are viable and do not display any overt phenotypic abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
