| Primary Identifier | MGI:1919164 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 71914 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within collagen fibril organization; single fertilization; and uterus development. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fibroma and hyaline fibromatosis syndrome. Orthologous to human ANTXR2 (ANTXR cell adhesion molecule 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for null mutations display female infertility. Mice homozygous for one allele are highly resistant to Bacillus anthracis or anthrax toxin induced lethality. Young mice homozygous for a second allele display pregnancy-related premature death and failure of parturition. [provided by MGI curators] |
