Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable lipoprotein particle receptor activity and low-density lipoprotein particle binding activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; protein localization to tricellular tight junction; and tricellular tight junction assembly. Located in plasma membrane and tricellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; liver; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human LSR (lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality during fetal growth and development, liver hypoplasia, and variable penetrance of pallor, hemorrhaging, superficial skin detachment, and reduced size.
