Primary Identifier | MGI:96599 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 109700 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity; phosphatase activator activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion; cellular extravasation; and neutrophil chemotaxis. Located in basal part of cell and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in blood vessel endothelium; embryo mesenchyme; intestine smooth muscle; and lung. Used to study type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ITGA1 (integrin subunit alpha 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene are essentially normal although their kidneys are smaller and more succeptible to injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
