Primary Identifier | MGI:1920432 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 73182 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor activity. Involved in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; platelet aggregation; and positive regulation of platelet activation. Acts upstream of or within recognition of apoptotic cell. Located in phagocytic cup. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; dorsal root ganglion; embryo; heart; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human PEAR1 (platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show no apparent defects in hemostasis or thrombus formation. Although in vitro dextran sulfate-induced platelet aggregation is impaired, platelet aggregation initiated with physiological agonists is normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
