Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable procollagen-proline 3-dioxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within collagen fibril organization; negative regulation of cell growth; and regulation of ossification. Predicted to be located in basement membrane; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb mesenchyme; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study osteogenesis imperfecta type 8. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 8. Orthologous to human P3H1 (prolyl 3-hydroxylase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced size, disproportional reduction in long bone length, decreased bone density, decreased bone mineral density, reduced body fat, delayed ossification, and abnormal collagen networks in the skin and tendons.
