Primary Identifier | MGI:3646642 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 620235 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization; regulation of bone resorption; and regulation of osteoclast development. Located in plasma membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in eye; immune system; reproductive system; and stomach. Orthologous to human SIGLEC15 (sialic acid binding Ig like lectin 15). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit impaired osteoclast differentiation and function and mild osteopetrosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
