Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables procollagen glucosyltransferase activity and procollagen-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity. Involved in hydroxylysine biosynthetic process and peptidyl-lysine hydroxylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; endothelial cell morphogenesis; and extracellular matrix organization. Located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; extracellular space; and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; ear; future brain; incisor; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PLOD3 (procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality, reduced embryonic growth, fragility, and fragmented basement membranes. [provided by MGI curators] |
