MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein that contains epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats. The encoded heterotrimeric protein may be involved in cell growth regulation and differentiation. A similar protein in rodents is involved in craniosynostosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice display perinatal lethality, respiratory failure, impaired development of the intervertebral disks, vertebrae and calvarial bones, increased skull length, and abnormal curvature of the spine. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to G transition at position 1136 of the Nell1 transcript in exon 11 of 20 total exons. Multiple transcripts of the Nell1 gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega. The mutated nucleotide causes a glutamic acid to glycine substitution at amino acid 366 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

Protein Function and Prediction
The Nell1 gene encodes an 810 amino acid secreted protein involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation. NELL1 may form a homotrimer and bind to protein kinase C beta (PKCbeta; see the record for Untied). The protein contains six epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, one TSP N-terminal domain at residues 81-230 and five VWFC (von Willebrand factor type C) domains (Uniprot Q2VWQ2). Homozygous mice display perinatal lethality, respiratory failure, impaired development of the intervertebral disks, vertebrae and calvarial bones, increased skull length, and abnormal curvature of the spine.
 
The E366G change occurs in the second VWFC domain, and is predicted to be possibly damaging by the PolyPhen program.
