Primary Identifier | MGI:98943 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 22373 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables nutrient reservoir activity. Predicted to be involved in antibacterial humoral response and innate immune response. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in mammary gland. PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants are phenotypically normal and fertile. Functional differentiation of mammary epithelium is normal and dams produce milk, but pups thrive poorly on milk lacking whey acidic protein. A normal variant determines a one amino acid change inWAP protein in YBR versus other strains. [provided by MGI curators] |
