Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable collagen binding activity; heparin binding activity; and peptidase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; jaw; limb; nasal cavity epithelium; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PCOLCE2 (procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and grossly normal with no detectable abnormalities in thymus or T cell development. [provided by MGI curators] |
