Primary Identifier | MGI:95659 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 14455 |
Mgi Type | lncRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bone development; mRNA catabolic process; and osteoblast differentiation. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; metanephros; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GAS5 (growth arrest specific 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die during the embryonic period. Heterozygous mice develop osteoporosis and have impaired bone repair capacity. [provided by MGI curators] |
