Primary Identifier | MGI:2177651 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 246154 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to hypoxia and cellular response to redox state. Located in mitochondrion and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; cranium; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human VASN (vasorin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit increased sensitivity to TNFalpha-induced lethality, TNFalpha-, cycloheximide-, or CoCl2-induced cell death, and reduced male fertility.
