Primary Identifier | MGI:1890497 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 84094 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in developmental process and positive regulation of cellular extravasation. Predicted to be located in caveola and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; liver; spleen; and trophectoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea. Orthologous to human PLVAP (plasmalemma vesicle associated protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display background sensitive lethality, absence of diaphragms from fenestrated endothelia, increased vascular permeability, hypoproteinemia, ascites, edema, xanthoma and increased plasma triglyceride levels.
