Primary Identifier | MGI:1306826 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 20361 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including integrin-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and positive regulation of macrophage cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; positive regulation of axon extension; and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and presynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. Orthologous to human SEMA7A (semaphorin 7A (JohnMiltonHagen blood group)). PHENOTYPE: The development of the olfactory tract is impaired in homozygous null mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
