Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 14115 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; intraembryonic coelom; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human FBLN2 (fibulin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out alle are viable, fertile and grossly normal with no apparent defects in elastic fiber formation in the aorta and skin. [provided by MGI curators] |
