Primary Identifier | MGI:1929286 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 56332 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables actin filament binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in endothelial cell morphogenesis. Located in apical plasma membrane; bicellular tight junction; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; dorsal aorta; gonad; telencephalon; and trophectoderm. Orthologous to human AMOTL2 (angiomotin like 2). PHENOTYPE: Conditional homozygous knockout in endothelial cells during embryonic development leads to aortic restriction in the embryo. [provided by MGI curators] |
