Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Involved in negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway; regulation of neuron differentiation; and regulation of protein stability. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; embryonic limb morphogenesis; and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in Golgi apparatus and ciliary membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; heart; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human MOSMO (modulator of smoothened).
