Primary Identifier | MGI:97809 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 19263 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity. Involved in angiogenesis and dephosphorylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in angiosarcoma; breast angiosarcoma; carcinoma (multiple); central nervous system cancer (multiple); and sarcoma. Orthologous to human PTPRB (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality at E10, impaired vascular maintenace and remodeling, heart defects and abnormal yolk sac vasculature.
