Gene Expression + Phenotype

Gastrulation is impaired and homozygous mutant embryos consequently die during early embryonic development. Induced whole-body homo- or heterozygous KO leads to renal failure and early death. Induced forebrain glutamatergic neuron homo- or heterozygous KO leads to progressive cortical neurodegeneration.
