Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in cell surface receptor signaling pathway; regulation of angiogenesis; and retina layer formation. Acts upstream of or within Norrin signaling pathway and maintenance of blood-brain barrier. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and genitourinary system. Used to study exudative vitreoretinopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in exudative vitreoretinopathy 5. Orthologous to human TSPAN12 (tetraspanin 12).
