Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within blood coagulation; integrin-mediated signaling pathway; and myeloid cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human MPIG6B (megakaryocyte and platelet inhibitory receptor G6b). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit macrothrombocytopenic, increased platelet turnover, enlarged spleen, extramedullary hematopoiesis, myelofibrosis, increased bleeding time, and impaired stimulated platelet adhesion, aggregation and ATP sectretion.
