Primary Identifier | MGI:1329025 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 13612 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including cartilage; cerebral cortex; heart; skeletal system; and trachea. Orthologous to human EDIL3 (EGF like repeats and discoidin domains 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation are viable and fertile with no noticeable fur phenotype. Homozygous KO leads to absence of bone regeneration after induced periodontitis.
