Primary Identifier | MGI:2677838 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 665700 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable axon guidance receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules and synapse organization. Located in several cellular components, including basement membrane; cell cortex; and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; gut; hindlimb muscle; lung; and skin. Orthologous to human HMCN2 (hemicentin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one null allele are viable and fertile with no gross abnormalities. Mice homozygous for a second null allele display heart ventricle, hematocrit and hemoglobin abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
