Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Involved in striatal medium spiny neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within neuron projection morphogenesis and regulation of neuron migration. Located in stereocilium. Is expressed in several structures, including forebrain; hair outer root sheath; jaw; midbrain mantle layer; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acromelic frontonasal dysostosis. Orthologous to human ZSWIM6 (zinc finger SWIM-type containing 6).
