| Primary Identifier | MGI:109185 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 18133 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including bone regeneration; negative regulation of insulin secretion; and type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on negative regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CCN3 (cellular communication network factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Heterozygotes and homozygotes for a null mutation exhibit abnormal skeletal and cardiac development, muscle atrophy and cataracts. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit minor bone structure and physiology defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
