Primary Identifier | MGI:1917650 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 58860 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in foregut-midgut junction; hindgut; large intestine; midgut; and stomach. Orthologous to human ADAMDEC1 (ADAM like decysin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are more susceptible to the induction of bacterial and chemical induced colitis, showing more weight loss, increased mortality, increased neutrophil infiltration and greater IL-6 and Il-1beta secretion.
