Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 23948 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within drinking behavior and kidney development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including extracellular matrix; extracellular region; and side of membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MMP17 (matrix metallopeptidase 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele exhibit normal morphology, clinical chemistry, hematology and behavior. Mice homozygous for a reporter/null allele exhibit normal growth, fertility, and lifespan but show subtle renal developmental defects, hypodipsia, and elevated urine osmolarity.
