Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 19144 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; protein maturation; and regulation of neuron projection development. Is active in cornified envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Lewy body dementia; Parkinson's disease; demyelinating disease; and multiple system atrophy. Orthologous to human KLK6 (kallikrein related peptidase 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased mature oligodendrocytes in the developing spinal cord.
