Primary Identifier | MGI:105988 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 13522 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable immunoglobulin receptor binding activity and metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in foregut; nasal cavity epithelium; respiratory system; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer; invasive ductal carcinoma; lung adenocarcinoma; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human ADAM28 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 28). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout increases metastatic pulmonary colonization after injection with tumor cells as a result of reduced pulmonary CD8+ T cell invasion. [provided by MGI curators] |
