Primary Identifier | MGI:88613 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 16007 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables extracellular matrix binding activity and integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; positive regulation of hydrolase activity; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; heart; and sensory organ. Used to study atrial heart septal defect 1 and atrioventricular septal defect. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Orthologous to human CCN1 (cellular communication network factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Targeted null mice die pre- or perinatally, and none survive beyond 24 hrs of birth. About 30% of embryos die by E10.5 from defects in chorioallantoic fusion, whereas 70% die from placental vascular defects, including impaired allantoic vessel bifurcation, and loss of large-vessel integrity.
