Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization; bicellular tight junction assembly; and epithelial cell morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in desmosome. Predicted to be active in actin filament; adherens junction; and bicellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nose; respiratory system; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency 2B. Orthologous to human POF1B (POF1B actin binding protein). PHENOTYPE: Both male and female mice homozygous for a targeted knockout mutation of this gene are viable and fertile have no reported abnormal phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
