Primary Identifier | MGI:1096360 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 12476 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within T cell proliferation and cell migration. Predicted to be located in basement membrane and cell surface. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in epidermolysis bullosa simplex. Orthologous to human CD151 (CD151 molecule (Raph blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for mutations in this gene display increased bleeding time, impaired keratinocyte migration, hyperproliferation of stimulated T cells, impaired pathologic angiogenesis in several in vivo assays, and kidney abnormalities.
