Primary Identifier | MGI:97809 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 19263 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity. Involved in angiogenesis and peptidyl-tyrosine dephosphorylation involved in inactivation of protein kinase activity. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and umbilical artery. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in angiosarcoma; breast angiosarcoma; carcinoma (multiple); central nervous system cancer (multiple); and sarcoma. Orthologous to human PTPRB (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality at E10, impaired vascular maintenace and remodeling, heart defects and abnormal yolk sac vasculature.
