Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 11818 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; lipoprotein lipase activator activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of blood coagulation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in artery smooth muscle; liver lobe; lung; lung epithelium; and lung vascular element. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in antiphospholipid syndrome; myocardial infarction; and peripheral vascular disease. Orthologous to human APOH (apolipoprotein H). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in reduced viability and reduced thrombin production. Only 8% homozygous null animals are born from heterozygous intercrosses.
