| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 20750 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables extracellular matrix binding activity and integrin binding activity. Involved in bone mineralization and calcium ion homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; intracellular chloride ion homeostasis; and intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis. Located in apical part of cell and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; metanephros; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; coronary artery disease (multiple); disease of cellular proliferation (multiple); and hepatitis. Orthologous to human SPP1 (secreted phosphoprotein 1). PHENOTYPE: Two alleles determine natural resistance/susceptibility to the lethal effects of the Gilliam strain of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal osteoclast physiology, macrophage recruitment, wound healing, response to injury, and inflammatory response. [provided by MGI curators] |
