| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 17304 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in apoptotic cell clearance. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; hematopoietic system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in temporal arteritis. Orthologous to human MFGE8 (milk fat globule EGF and factor V/VIII domain containing). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display reduced male fertility associated with impaired zona pellucida binding. Fertility is unaffected in female mutant mice. Splenomegaly occurs with age and defects occur in phagocytosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
