Primary Identifier | MGI:1915770 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 68520 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be located in endosome and focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human ZFYVE21 (zinc finger FYVE-type containing 21). PHENOTYPE: Mice with induced loss of expression in endothelial cells show impaired vascular barrier functions, reduced glomerular filtration rates, and decreased weight gain.
