| Primary Identifier | MGI:97804 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 19242 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including glycosaminoglycan binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and syndecan binding activity. Involved in several processes, including decidualization; learning or memory; and regulation of nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within bone mineralization. Located in extracellular region. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adrenal carcinoma. Orthologous to human PTN (pleiotrophin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit enhanced long term potentiation, an impairment of spatial learning, and increased anxiety. The brains of mutant mice are morphologically normal.
