Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 110454 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable acetylcholine receptor binding activity and acetylcholine receptor inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone marrow; extraembryonic component; metanephros; and uterus. Used to study osteoporosis. PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mice show strain-dependent prenatal lethality, altered proliferative response by T lymphocytes, hematopoietic stem cell and progenitor defects, and age-related osteoporosis. Heterozygotes for a knock-in allele develop a myeloproliferative disorder and skin pathology at high penetrance. [provided by MGI curators] |
