Primary Identifier | MGI:1930803 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 57816 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables metal ion binding activity; phosphatase inhibitor activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in male gonad development and megakaryocyte differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including lamellipodium; nucleus; and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; genitourinary system; limb bud; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TESC (tescalcin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for deletions in this gene display normal morphology and numbers of megakaryocytes. Platelet numbers are also normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
