Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable ephrin receptor activity. Involved in angiogenesis; ephrin receptor signaling pathway; and heart morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of T cell costimulation; positive regulation of aorta morphogenesis; and venous blood vessel morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study cystic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in central conducting lymphatic anomaly. Orthologous to human EPHB4 (EPH receptor B4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit arrested angiogenesis and heart development and midgestational lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
