Primary Identifier | MGI:1931001 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 171211 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable death receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hair follicle development; odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and trachea gland development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; metanephros; naris; skin; and ureter. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ectodermal dysplasia 11A and ectodermal dysplasia 11B. Orthologous to human EDARADD (EDAR associated via death domain). PHENOTYPE: Spontaneous mutations may lead to a kinked tail, reduced fertility, abnormal respiration and sparse hair. Chemically-induced mutants may show developmental defects in teeth, hair and ectoderm-derived glands, reduced viability and fertility, respiratory disorders, and lipid, myelin and brain defects.
