Primary Identifier | MGI:1346322 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 23888 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in cell migration and regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in omodysplasia 1. Orthologous to human GPC6 (glypican 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neonatal lethality, decreased fetal weight, short long bones, small skull, small snout, cleft palate and decreased chondrocyte proliferation.
