Primary Identifier | MGI:98909 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 109820 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable aspartic-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of antibacterial peptide production and proteolysis. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in gut and lung. Orthologous to human PGC (progastricsin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit premature death with decreased erythrocyte cell number, decreased hemoglobin content, decreased circulating alkaline phosphatase level, increased regenerative and globoid dysplasia, and decreased incidence of MNU-induced.
