description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including metal ion binding activity; peptidylamidoglycolate lyase activity; and peptidylglycine monooxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including fatty acid primary amide biosynthetic process; peptide amidation; and response to zinc ion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including perikaryon; secretory granule membrane; and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; forelimb bud; limb interdigital region; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PAM (peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality during fetal growth and development, edema, abnormal yolk sac vasculature, thin arterial walls, and abnormal bronchial epithelial morphology.
