Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable hyaluronic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of blood-nerve barrier and extracellular matrix assembly. Located in extracellular matrix and node of Ranvier. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human HAPLN2 (hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display reduced nerve conduction velocity and abnormalities in the neuronal extracellular matrix. [provided by MGI curators] |
