Primary Identifier | MGI:108448 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 11600 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel development; regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in membrane raft; microvillus; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; liver; metanephros; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; brain ischemia; diabetic retinopathy; hereditary angioedema; and hypertension. Orthologous to human ANGPT1 (angiopoietin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display embryonic lethality by E12.5 and deficits in vascular development such as a reduction in vascular branching.
