| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within growth plate cartilage chondrocyte morphogenesis and regulation of bone mineralization. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including cartilage; genitourinary system; heart; limb; and skeleton. Orthologous to human MATN1 (matrilin 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants are viable, fertile and display normal cartilage development and endochondral bone formation. Mice homozygous for one targeted allele show alterations in type II collagen fibrillogenesis and fibril organization, in the absence of skeletal defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
