Primary Identifier | MGI:1917620 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 70370 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity and heparin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; reproductive system; respiratory system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human FBLN7 (fibulin 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are protected from renal tubular calcification and fibrosis induced by high phosphate diet. [provided by MGI curators] |
