Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; extracellular matrix organization; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Acts upstream of or within aorta development and coronary vasculature development. Located in nucleus. Part of proteasome complex. Is active in cell trailing edge and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study autism spectrum disorder; autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome; progressive myoclonus epilepsy 1B; and velocardiofacial syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy 1B. Orthologous to human PRICKLE1 (prickle planar cell polarity protein 1).
