| Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 11625 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable endopeptidase inhibitor activity and receptor signaling protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of bone mineralization. Acts upstream of or within ossification. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; collagen-containing extracellular matrix; and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; limb segment; reproductive system; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alopecia-mental retardation syndrome 1; coronary artery disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AHSG (alpha 2-HS glycoprotein). PHENOTYPE: Mice lacking this gene exhibit defective inhibition of serum apatite formation, sometimes causing muscle calcification. They are resistant to weight gain on a high-fat diet and have increased insulin sensitivity and glucose clearance and reduced fasting plasma free fatty acids and triglycerides.
