Primary Identifier | MGI:1917695 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 70445 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fibroblast migration; lymph node development; and positive regulation of endothelial cell apoptotic process. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human CD248 (CD248 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display decreased growth of implanted abdominal and intestinal tumors, but have normal wound healing and no gross morphological abnormalities.
