Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in negative regulation of cell-matrix adhesion; positive regulation of cell migration; and wound healing, spreading of epidermal cells. Located in apical plasma membrane and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human PLET1 (placenta expressed transcript 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased gut permeability, impaired tissue repair of DSS-induced damage in colon epithelium, and reduced tumor formation in an azoxymethane/DSS model of colitis-associated cancer.
