| Primary Identifier | MGI:102897 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 18553 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable heparin binding activity; nerve growth factor binding activity; and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry; protein processing; and zygotic determination of anterior/posterior axis, embryo. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle; and endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Predicted to be active in cell surface; extracellular matrix; and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; limb; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PCSK6 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in partial lethality by E15.5. Embryos develop situs ambiguus with left pulmonary isomerism or craniofacial malformations including cyclopia, or both. [provided by MGI curators] |
