Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable adrenomedullin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; negative regulation of vascular permeability; and positive regulation of vasculogenesis. Acts upstream of or within chordate embryonic development; developmental growth; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; gut; nervous system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain infarction; breast cancer; pancreatic cancer; and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human ADM (adrenomedullin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit cardiovascular defects, hyrdops fetalis, and lethality at midgestation with defects in placental defects, impaired fetal blood vessel and materal spiral artery remodeling, and decreased uterine NK cell numbers.
