Primary Identifier | MGI:1916925 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 69675 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on peroxide as acceptor. Involved in basement membrane assembly; cell adhesion; and eye development. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; gut; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anterior segment dysgenesis 7. Orthologous to human PXDN (peroxidasin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit abnormal eye development with early-onset glaucoma and progressive retinal dysgenesis.
