Primary Identifier | MGI:88329 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 12490 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables sulfate binding activity. Acts upstream of or within leukocyte migration. Located in cytoplasm; external side of plasma membrane; and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and liver. Orthologous to human CD34 (CD34 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show decreased splenocyte number and hematopoietic defects. Homozygotes for another null allele show reduced eosinophil accumulation after allergen exposure, impaired TPA-induced hair follicle stem cell activation and reduced incidence of chemically-induced skin tumors.
