Primary Identifier | MGI:1916788 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 69538 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; collagen binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development; negative regulation of extracellular matrix assembly; and positive regulation of metallopeptidase activity. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane; filopodium membrane; and lamellipodium membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; chondrocranium; costal cartilage; immune system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in GAPO syndrome and colorectal carcinoma. Orthologous to human ANTXR1 (ANTXR cell adhesion molecule 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display female infertility and malocclusion of the incisors. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit malocclusion of incisors and increased extracellular matrix deposition in several organs, includingthe ovaries and uterus, but normal fertility.
