| Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 16545 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within cornea development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; connective tissue; jaw; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study cornea plana. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arcus senilis; cornea plana; and corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to human KERA (keratocan). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have a thinner than normal corneal stroma with thicker collagen fibers which were less regularly packed. [provided by MGI curators] |
