| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 15446 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Involved in ductus arteriosus closure. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; choroid plexus; genitourinary system; humerus cartilage condensation; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon carcinoma and primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Orthologous to human HPGD (15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results failure of the ductus arteriosus to close and perinatal lethality. Mutant animals die within 12-48 hours after birth due to congestive heart failure. Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele exhibit preterm labor. [provided by MGI curators] |
