Primary Identifier | MGI:1100514 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 18949 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human PNN (pinin, desmosome associated protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele die prior to implantation. Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele show complete perinatal lethality, edema, axial skeletal abnormalities, cardiac outflow tract defects, cleft palate, and impaired development of the dorsal dermis and brown fat tissue.
