Primary Identifier | MGI:109620 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 11877 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in RNA splicing and cell-cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; forelimb bud; metanephros; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in DiGeorge syndrome. Orthologous to human ARVCF (ARVCF delta catenin family member). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele display abnormal gait and cataracts. [provided by MGI curators] |
