Primary Identifier | MGI:1918521 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 227960 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and telencephalon ventricular layer. Orthologous to human GCA (grancalcin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene are essentially normal. However they do demonstrate an increased resistance to endotoxic shock. [provided by MGI curators] |
