| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables collagen binding activity and laminin-1 binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion; glomerular basement membrane development; and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human NID1 (nidogen 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neurologic deficits including seizure-like symptoms and loss of muscle control in the hind legs, and show altered basement membrane morphology in selected locations including brain capillaries and the lens capsule.
