Primary Identifier | MGI:1920987 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 73737 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic signaling pathway; bone resorption; and multinuclear osteoclast differentiation. Located in cell junction and subapical part of cell. Colocalizes with intermediate filament. Is expressed in central nervous system and dorsal root ganglion. Orthologous to human BBLN (bublin coiled coil protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout results in progressively reduced bone volume due to increased bone resorption in males. [provided by MGI curators] |
