Primary Identifier | MGI:107973 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 16005 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable Roundabout binding activity; heparin binding activity; and insulin-like growth factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axon guidance and negative chemotaxis. Predicted to be part of insulin-like growth factor ternary complex. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; and testis. Orthologous to human IGFALS (insulin like growth factor binding protein acid labile subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene gain weight more slowly after birth and display less growth in long bones. [provided by MGI curators] |
