Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including innervation; otolith morphogenesis; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LRIG1 (leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice developed psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia. Homozygotes exhibit hair follicle, epidermis, vertebral, eye and hearing abnormalities, decreased body size and fat amount, and increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.
