Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and dendrite development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in femur; fibula; and tibia. Orthologous to human MCF2 (MCF.2 cell line derived transforming sequence). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous and hemizygous null mice are viable, fertile and behaviorally normal, exhibit normal gonad and brain development and neuronal migration, but show a significant reduction of basal dendritic length in distinct subpopulations of cortical pyramidal neurons.
