Primary Identifier | MGI:3045353 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 330119 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and protein processing. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in embryo; footplate apical ectodermal ridge; and handplate apical ectodermal ridge. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hennekam syndrome. Orthologous to human ADAMTS3 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele exhibit lethality after E15, edema, absent lymphatic vessels, liver degeneration, and abnormal placenta labyrinth morphology.
