Primary Identifier | MGI:105045 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 20716 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium; response to cytokine; and response to peptide hormone. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in nervous system; sensory organ; skeleton; thymus primordium; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adult respiratory distress syndrome; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cystic fibrosis; and vasculitis. Orthologous to human SERPINA3 (serpin family A member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased mechanical allodynia after spared nerve injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
