Primary Identifier | MGI:2670972 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 329872 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone; brain; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study Fraser syndrome; chromosome 9p deletion syndrome; and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Orthologous to human FREM1 (FRAS1 related extracellular matrix 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in subepidermal blistering, cryptophthalmos, syndactyly, and renal agenesis.
