Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 56753 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; negative regulation of cellular component organization; and negative regulation of substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of stem cell differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including basal plasma membrane; extracellular space; and lateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in corneal dystrophy and gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to human TACSTD2 (tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal development, life expectancy and tumorigenesis. When combined with a Cdkn2a knock-out allele, mice exhibit increased incidence of induced spindle cell carcinoma and immortalized keratinocyte proliferation and migration. [provided by MGI curators] |
