description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cartilage development. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in cartilage; knee; skeletal system; testis; and trachea. Orthologous to human SNORC (secondary ossification center associated regulator of chondrocyte maturation). PHENOTYPE: Reduced viability of homozygous mutants is seen. Surviving male homozygous mutant mice exhibit decreased mean serum triglyceride levels when compared with controls. Female homozygous mutants exhibit decreased activity levels during the 12-hour habituation period of home-cage activity testing. [provided by MGI curators] |
