Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 70083 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of axonogenesis and radial glial cell differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and spleen. Orthologous to human METRN (meteorin, glial cell differentiation regulator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die between E7 and E8.5 showing impaired gastrulation with abnormal endoderm and mesendoderm development. [provided by MGI curators] |
