extracellular matrix protein 2, female organ and adipocyte specific

ECM2 encodes extracellular matrix protein 2, so named because it shares extensive similarity with known extracelluar matrix proteins. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

secondary ossification center associated regulator of chondrocyte maturation

Predicted to be involved in cartilage development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including collagen-containing extracellular matrix; cytoplasm; and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cell periphery. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

limb development membrane protein 1-like

Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and signal transduction. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

mesoderm development candidate 1

This gene encodes a protein that is regulated by micro RNA MiR-574-3, and is thought to have an oncogenic function in human bladder cancer. A similar gene in mouse is located in a chromosomal region critical for differentiation of mesoderm, which affects embryo patterning and the formation of heart, muscle, blood, skeleton and the urogenital system. The mouse gene is expressed in early development, and in the adult. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

mesoderm development candidate 2

Predicted to enable low-density lipoprotein particle receptor binding activity. Involved in ossification and protein folding. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 20. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

craniofacial development protein 1

Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cell adhesion; negative regulation of fibroblast apoptotic process; and regulation of cell shape. Predicted to be located in kinetochore. Predicted to be part of Swr1 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

embryonic ectoderm development

This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein interacts with enhancer of zeste 2, the cytoplasmic tail of integrin beta7, immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) MA protein, and histone deacetylase proteins. This protein mediates repression of gene activity through histone deacetylation, and may act as a specific regulator of integrin function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

vertebrae development associated

Predicted to enable sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

heart development protein with EGF-like domains 1

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of Rho protein signal transduction; negative regulation of Rho-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and negative regulation of membrane permeability. Located in cell-cell junction. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

embryonic ectoderm development pseudogene

This locus is 89-91% identical to the embryonic ectoderm development gene on chromosome 11. This locus has a single exon and has no evidence of transcription, and so it is thought to be a pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

testis development related protein

Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Located in cytosol and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

limb development membrane protein 1

This gene encodes a member of the LMBR1-like membrane protein family. Another member of this protein family has been shown to be a lipocalin transmembrane receptor. A highly conserved, cis-acting regulatory module for the sonic hedgehog gene is located within an intron of this gene. Consequently, disruption of this genic region can alter sonic hedgehog expression and affect limb patterning, but it is not known if this gene functions directly in limb development. Mutations and chromosomal deletions and rearrangements in this genic region are associated with acheiropody and preaxial polydactyly, which likely result from altered sonic hedgehog expression.

limb bud and heart development

Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of MAPK cascade. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

mesoderm development candidate 2 pseudogene

testis development related 1 (non-protein coding)

Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

mesoderm development LRP chaperone

Predicted to enable low-density lipoprotein particle receptor binding activity. Involved in ossification and protein folding. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 20. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
