Primary Identifier | MGI:2444990 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 225152 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of satellite cell activation involved in skeletal muscle regeneration. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; limb segment; liver; lung; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human GJD4 (gap junction protein delta 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit accelerated muscle regeneration following BaCl2 injection. [provided by MGI curators] |
