Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 14089 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including melanocyte apoptotic process; melanocyte proliferation; and negative regulation of cell proliferation involved in contact inhibition. Located in apical part of cell; basal part of cell; and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; hindlimb interdigital region; intraembryonic coelom; musculoskeletal system; and nose. Orthologous to human FAP (fibroblast activation protein alpha). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutations exhibit no discernable phenotype; mice are viable and fertile with no change in cancer susceptibility. [provided by MGI curators] |
