| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of muscle and structural constituent of skin epidermis. Acts upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway and cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; apicolateral plasma membrane; and terminal web. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver and biliary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KRT19 (keratin 19). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-in allele are viable. Mice homozygous for a reporter allele show partial and strain-dependent preweaning lethality but no anatomical or behavioral defects. Mice that are either homozygous or heterozygous for a targeted insertion into intron 6 exhibit sperm tail defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
