| Primary Identifier | MGI:96079 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 15234 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable chemoattractant activity; growth factor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway; regulation of MAPK cascade; and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; egg cylinder; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39; eye disease (multiple); neuropathy (multiple); and scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to human HGF (hepatocyte growth factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit reduced embryonic livers, impaired migration of dermomyotome precursors affecting skeletal muscle formation, defective navigation of hypoglossal motor axons, abnormal placentas, and prenatal lethality.
