Primary Identifier | MGI:108037 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 14205 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables growth factor activity; identical protein binding activity; and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 binding activity. Involved in dopaminergic neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fibroblast proliferation; response to bacterium; and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; endocrine gland; lung; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human VEGFD (vascular endothelial growth factor D). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous female and hemizygous male null mice are morphologically normal, can suckle, and have grossly normal lymphatic system morphology and function. [provided by MGI curators] |
