Primary Identifier | MGI:3646208 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 100503185 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in synaptic vesicle budding from endosome and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Is extrinsic component of synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; and retina. Orthologous to human BTBD8 (BTB domain containing 8). PHENOTYPE: Female mice homozygous for a null mutation display reduced susceptibility to induced colitis, enhanced intestinal barrier integrity, increased intestinal stem cell proliferation and goblet cell numbers, and reduced macrophage cytokine production.
