| Primary Identifier | MGI:106199 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 22340 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle contraction; coronary vasculature development; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and musculoskeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human VEGFB (vascular endothelial growth factor B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one or more disruptions in this gene display defective cardiac morphology and physiology, sensitivity to induced neurodegeneration, increased weight and brown adipose whitening.
