| 76742 | Q3UHD6 | SNX27_MOUSE | Sorting nexin-27 | DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE | Growth retardation followed by lethality. Some mice die in the uterus during embryonic development. Newborn mice that survive fail to thrive and all die at different times within the first 3 weeks. The body weight of newborn is lower than wild-type mice, and the postnatal growth is severely retarded, with a clear retardation of body weight gain. The growth retardation is not only reflected in the body weight, but also in multiple organs, such as the spleen, kidney, liver, heart and intestine. Mice also show neuronal deficits in the hippocampus and cortex: despite a normal neuroanatomy, defects in synaptic function, learning and memory and a reduction in the amounts of ionotropic glutamate receptors (NMDA and AMPA receptors) are observed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21300787, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23524343}. |
