Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in keratinization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cornified envelope; desmosome; and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; embryo ectoderm; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human KAZN (kazrin, periplakin interacting protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable, fertile and grossly normal with no obvious defects in skin development or homeostasis.
