Primary Identifier | MGI:2389136 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 246707 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable extracellular matrix constituent conferring elasticity. Involved in positive regulation of blood coagulation. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human EMILIN2 (elastin microfibril interfacer 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit disruptions in platelet activation, thrombus formation and clot retraction.
