Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 192212 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of endocytosis; positive regulation of cell projection organization; and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in cell surface; plasma membrane; and prominosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; lung; and naris epithelium. Orthologous to human PROM2 (prominin 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibited signs of anemia, with decreased mean red blood cell count and decreased mean hemoglobin and hematocrit levels.
