Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including microtubule binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Located in cytoplasm and microtubule cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Opitz GBBB syndrome and microphthalmia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Opitz GBBB syndrome. Orthologous to human MID1 (midline 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous or hemizygous for disruptions in this gene have a normal phenotype.
