Primary Identifier | MGI:95487 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 14114 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptidase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; and heart. Orthologous to human FBLN1 (fibulin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene develop problems with spontaneous bleeding as embryos. Most die within the first two days of life. Those that survive this period develop normally and eventually recover from their early developmental abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
