Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 67860 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium ion binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to calcium ion. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; gut; heart; nose; and urinary system. Orthologous to human S100A16 (S100 calcium binding protein A16). PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous for a null allele exhibit protection from p;iver fibrosis induced by treatment with CCl4, bile duct ligation, or a methionine and choline deficient diet.
