Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 13507 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and gamma-catenin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Located in several cellular components, including desmosome; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; and skin. Orthologous to human DSC3 (desmocollin 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die before implantation. Heterozygous mice do not display any gross abnormalities and have normal epidermal development and keratinocyte differentiation.
