Primary Identifier | MGI:108110 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 13602 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; collagen binding activity; and extracellular matrix binding activity. Involved in synaptic membrane adhesion. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SPARCL1 (SPARC like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation exhibit no discernable phenotype; mice are viable and fertile with normal histology and survival. [provided by MGI curators] |
