Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 13406 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization; positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion; and regulation of enamel mineralization. Located in cytoplasm; extracellular matrix; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone; genitourinary system; limb; and nervous system. Used to study autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets. Orthologous to human DMP1 (dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit hypophosphatemia, rickets, osteomalacia, renal phosphate-wasting, impaired osteocyte maturation, defective dentinogenesis, and severe alveolar bone and cementum defects leading to early periodontal breakdown.
