Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 93835 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within protein localization and renal protein absorption. Located in apical part of cell. Is expressed in extraembryonic component; extraembryonic visceral endoderm; primitive endoderm; and renal proximal tubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in megaloblastic anemia. Orthologous to human AMN (amnion associated transmembrane protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in embryonic growth arrest between the mid and late streak stages of gastrulation and abnormal ectoderm formation, followed by death. Generation of middle primitive streak derivatives is impaired, leading to absence of mesoderm and somites. [provided by MGI curators] |
