| Primary Identifier | MGI:88208 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 12215 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including cell-cell adhesion mediator activity; protein carrier activity; and virus receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including neural retina development; neuron projection extension; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in several cellular components, including acrosomal membrane; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; reproductive system; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human BSG (basigin (Ok blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Most homozygous null mutants die around the time of implantation. Half of the survivors die prior to 1 month of age from interstitial pneumonia. The remaining mice are small, sterile, have retinal abnormalities, and perform poorly in behavioral tests. [provided by MGI curators] |
