Primary Identifier | MGI:2443695 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 320265 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables receptor ligand activity. Involved in neuroblast differentiation; regulation of neuroblast proliferation; and regulation of signaling receptor activity. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human TAFA1 (TAFA chemokine like family member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit sex-dependent alterations in food intake patterns, locomotor activity, anxiety-like behavior, dopamine turnover, and sensitivity to pain induced by heat or electric shock.
