Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 17123 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable integrin binding activity involved in cell-matrix adhesion. Acts upstream of or within keratinocyte differentiation and leukocyte migration. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in eyelid; hair follicle; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human MADCAM1 (mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit small Peyer's patches and decreased homing of IgA-secreting plasma cells in the lamina propria. [provided by MGI curators] |
