Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 22402 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heparin binding activity and integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; osteoblast differentiation; and osteoclast differentiation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb; and skeleton. Orthologous to human CCN4 (cellular communication network factor 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation exhibit impaired motor coordination during inverted screen testing. [provided by MGI curators] |
