| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity involved in cell-cell adhesion. Involved in ureteric bud development. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 8. Orthologous to human EPCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality during organogenesis with decreased embryo size, impaired labyrinth layer development and decreased number of trophoblast giant cells. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit impaired intestinal tight junctions with lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
