Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 241556 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-ion regulated exocytosis; hemostasis; and inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cell periphery. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human TSPAN18 (tetraspanin 18). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a hemostasis defect, impaired histamine-induced von Willebrand Factor (vWF) release, and decreased susceptibility to induced thrombosis in vWF-dependent thrombo-inflammatory models.
