Primary Identifier | MGI:1917673 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 70423 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables enzyme binding activity. Involved in protein maturation. Located in cell surface and tetraspanin-enriched microdomain. Is expressed in hypothalamus ventricular layer and pancreas epithelium. Orthologous to human TSPAN15 (tetraspanin 15). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit a slight increase in mortality within the first 3 weeks of birth. No overt neurological symptoms or hippocampal synapse abnormalities are seen. A different knock-out allele showed incomplete preweaning lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
