Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules; neuron development; and plasma membrane lactate transport. Predicted to be located in synapse. Predicted to be active in axon and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ectoderm; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human EMB (embigin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display partial prenatal and postnatal lethality with delayed lung development and prenatal growth retardation.
