Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 13524 |
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 and metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; male gonad development; and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in somite. Orthologous to human ADAM18 (ADAM metallopeptidase domain 18). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit enhanced motor coordination during inverted screen testing when compared with that of controls. [provided by MGI curators] |
