Protein Coding Gene : Cspg4 chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4

Primary Identifier  MGI:2153093 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  9 NCBI Gene Number  121021
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)

Enables coreceptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and ruffle assembly. Located in plasma membrane and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; retina; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human CSPG4 (chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4).
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display abnormal dentate gyrus morphology and abnormal smooth muscle cell physiology. [provided by MGI curators]
