| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 17242 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chondroitin sulfate binding activity and heparin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of cell adhesion; and positive regulation of leukocyte migration. Predicted to be located in cell projection. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain ischemia. Orthologous to human MDK (midkine). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene are essentially normal except for some delayed development of the hippocampus and behavioral abnormalities when young.
