| Primary Identifier | MGI:2677838 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 665700 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable axon guidance receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in homophilic cell-cell adhesion and synapse organization. Located in basement membrane; cell cortex; and cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; gut; hindlimb muscle; lung; and skin. Orthologous to human HMCN2 (hemicentin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one null allele are viable and fertile with no gross abnormalities. Mice homozygous for a second null allele display heart ventricle, hematocrit and hemoglobin abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
