| Primary Identifier | MGI:97397 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 330908 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to be involved in heterophilic cell-cell adhesion; positive regulation of cell size; and regulation of nervous system development. Predicted to be located in apical dendrite; dendritic spine; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; facial prominence; integumental system; sensory organ; and spinal component of peripheral nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human OPCML (opioid binding protein/cell adhesion molecule like). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout has no cardiac effect.
