Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable collagen binding activity involved in cell-matrix adhesion and integrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell adhesion mediated by integrin; cell-matrix adhesion; and integrin-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be part of integrin alpha10-beta1 complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hindlimb; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human ITGA10 (integrin subunit alpha 10). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display slightly shortened long bones and amild abnormalities in ephysiseal plate morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
