Primary Identifier | MGI:1341813 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 110751 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and rhinitis. Orthologous to human ADAM33 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 33). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted gene deletion are viable, fertile, developmentally normal and display normal allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity, IgE production, mucus metaplasia, and airway inflammation in an OVA-induced model of allergic asthma.
