description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphocholine phosphatase activity; phosphoethanolamine phosphatase activity; and pyrophosphatase activity. Involved in bone mineralization. Acts upstream of or within bone mineralization involved in bone maturation and endochondral ossification. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including jaw; limb; liver; skeleton; and spleen. Orthologous to human PHOSPHO1 (phosphoethanolamine/phosphocholine phosphatase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit fractures, bowed long bones, osteomalacia, and scoliosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
