Primary Identifier | MGI:2685641 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 333315 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in anatomical structure morphogenesis. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; lung; salivary gland; and skin. Orthologous to human FREM3 (FRAS1 related extracellular matrix 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit no embryonic lethality and normal fertility, size, and no apparent Fraser syndrome- or MOTA/BNAR-like developmental defects.
