Primary Identifier | MGI:2147790 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 108101 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including integrin activation; platelet aggregation; and regulation of cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin. Located in podosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; and skin. Used to study leukocyte adhesion deficiency 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in leukocyte adhesion deficiency 1 and leukocyte adhesion deficiency 3. Orthologous to human FERMT3 (FERM domain containing kindlin 3). PHENOTYPE: Disruption of this marker results in lethality in the first week after birth, abnormal erythropoiesis and platelet function, and severe hemorrhage. [provided by MGI curators] |
