Primary Identifier | MGI:1330282 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 20198 |
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. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space; nucleus; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; heart; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human S100A4 (S100 calcium binding protein A4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele exhibit impaired chemotaxis of macrophages. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality resulting in a skewed sex ratio and increased tumor incidence. [provided by MGI curators] |
