Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 215015 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphotransferase activity, alcohol group as acceptor. Predicted to be involved in proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in articular cartilage; lower jaw; lower jaw incisor; and lower jaw molar. Orthologous to human FAM20B (FAM20B glycosaminoglycan xylosylkinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit complete embryonic lethality associated with decreased embryo size, multisystem organ hypoplasia, and delayed skeleton, digestive system, eye, liver, and lung development.
