Hsd17b12 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables collagen binding activity; fibronectin binding activity; and heparin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HSD17B12 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
