Primary Identifier | MGI:1349165 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 15529 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; jaw; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleft lip and cleft palate. Orthologous to human SDC2 (syndecan 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced angiogenesis and VEGFA165-induced endothelial cell proliferation and migration.
