Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 380664 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chromatin DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel endothelial cell migration involved in intussusceptive angiogenesis; regulation of extracellular matrix organization; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in nuclear envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including allantois; foregut diverticulum endoderm; lateral plate mesoderm; neural plate; and primitive streak. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome. Orthologous to human LEMD3 (LEM domain containing 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality at midgestation, defects in vascular remodeling and increased apoptosis in embryos, particularly in mesenchymal tissues.
