Primary Identifier | MGI:3051647 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 23850 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within bone morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; long bone; nervous system; and retina layer. Orthologous to human PAPPA2 (pappalysin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation are viable and fertile but display postnatal growth retardation that is more pronounced in females compared to males. [provided by MGI curators] |
