Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 12070 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables death receptor binding activity and molecular function inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of protein ubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; liver; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BEX3 (brain expressed X-linked 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit enlarged frontal bone, dilated brain ventricle, increased stereotypic behavior, increased prepulse inhibition, decreased density in motor, cingulate and sensory cortices, and caudate-putamen, decreased total spontaneous activity frequency, and strongly reduced inhibitory postsynaptic current frequency.
