Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 19124 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of coagulation. Located in centrosome. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; liver; placenta; and vasculature of uterus. Orthologous to human PROCR (protein C receptor). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous embryos die by E10.5 showing placental thrombosis, small size, and incomplete turning. Mice with a severe deficiency survive and reproduce normally. Homozygotes for the R84A variant show increased thrombin formation after thrombotic and LPS challenge, splenomegaly, and bone marrow failure. [provided by MGI curators] |
