Primary Identifier | MGI:4439832 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 328968 |
Mgi Type | lncRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of gene expression. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; gallbladder; intestine; quadriceps femoris muscle; and urinary system. Orthologous to human CARMN (cardiac mesoderm enhancer-associated non-coding RNA). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in vascular smooth muscle exhibit exacerbated neointima formation and increased vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation following left carotid artery ligation.
