| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and heparin binding activity. Involved in endothelial cell differentiation; endothelial cell migration; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study pulmonary emphysema. Orthologous to human FSTL1 (follistatin like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neonatal lethality, soft and enlarged trachea, cyanosis, primary atelectasis, lung epithelial cell hyperplasia, over-expanded bronchiole, impaired pneumocyte differentiation and maturation, and decreased surfactant production.
