Primary Identifier | MGI:1321390 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 18606 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alkylglycerophosphoethanolamine phosphodiesterase activity; lysophospholipase activity; and metal ion binding activity. Involved in phosphatidylcholine catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within phospholipid metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ENPP2 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display embryonic lethality during organogenesis, absent yolk sac vasculature, abnormal vasculature, and variable penetrance of impaired embryo turning, edema, failure of chorioallantoic fusion, neural tube malformations, and abnormal forebrain development.
