Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 268373 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables integrin binding activity and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. Involved in platelet aggregation. Acts upstream of or within neuron differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and skeletal muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human PPIA (peptidylprolyl isomerase A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene tend to develop blepharitis (about 30% of mice) as well as inflammation in other organs. Some background dependent embryonic lethality occurs but adults are robust and live normal life spans. [provided by MGI curators] |
