Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of blood coagulation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including factor VIII deficiency; osteonecrosis; thrombophilia (multiple); toxic shock syndrome; and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant embryos die showing hemorrhages of the yolk sac, central nervous system, and tail.
