Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 15116 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables hyaluronan synthase activity. Involved in extracellular matrix assembly; hyaluronan biosynthetic process; and polysaccharide biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm and membrane. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system epithelium; face; gonad; heart; and skin. Orthologous to human HAS1 (hyaluronan synthase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and appear grossly normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
