Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 14160 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation involved in renal tubule morphogenesis; hair follicle development; and oocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and trans-Golgi network membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study ankyloglossia. Orthologous to human LGR5 (leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display 100% neonatal lethality associated with ankyloglossia, gastrointestinal distension, cyanosis and respiratory failure.
