Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of muscle. Acts upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway and cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; apicolateral plasma membrane; and terminal web. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver and biliary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KRT19 (keratin 19). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-in allele are viable. Mice homozygous for a reporter allele show partial and strain-dependent preweaning lethality but no anatomical or behavioral defects. Mice that are either homozygous or heterozygous for a targeted insertion into intron 6 exhibit sperm tail defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
