Primary Identifier | MGI:1919682 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 72432 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of serine-type peptidase activity and regulation of cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum membrane; epidermal lamellar body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Is expressed in back skin. Used to study Netherton syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Netherton syndrome. Orthologous to human SPINK5 (serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice display neonatal lethality, exfoliative erythroderma, and severe dehydration.
