Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; collagen binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development; negative regulation of extracellular matrix assembly; and reproductive process. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane; filopodium membrane; and lamellipodium membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; chondrocranium; costal cartilage; immune system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in GAPO syndrome and colorectal carcinoma. Orthologous to human ANTXR1 (ANTXR cell adhesion molecule 1).
