description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; positive regulation of axon extension; and substrate-dependent cell migration, cell attachment to substrate. Located in cell surface; plasma membrane; and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; and limb long bone. Orthologous to human TNFRSF12A (TNF receptor superfamily member 12A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit significantly reduced liver progenitor ("oval") cell proliferation in response to chemically-induced liver injury.
