description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell adhesion; negative regulation of fibroblast apoptotic process; and regulation of cell shape. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be part of Swr1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; future brain; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CFDP1 (craniofacial development protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice with loss of expression in the craniofacial region show extensive craniofacial defects including impaired development of the mandible and maxilla. [provided by MGI curators] |
