Primary Identifier | MGI:104967 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 20340 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of protein processing; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of chondrocyte differentiation. Located in Golgi membrane and extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including cartilage condensation; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Orthologous to human GLG1 (golgi glycoprotein 1). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mice show smaller size, narrow rib cages, short and thin bony elements, and reduced chondrocyte proliferation and growth plates. Homozygotes for a gene trap allele show postnatal death, small size, distorted tails and cleft palate. Homozygotes for another gene trap allele die by E10.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
