Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in synaptic membrane adhesion. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Keipert syndrome.
