Component of the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM); a highly specialized biomembrane elaborated by terminally differentiated urothelial cells. May play an important role in AUM-cytoskeleton interaction in terminally differentiated urothelial cells. It also contributes to the formation of urothelial glycocalyx which may play an important role in preventing bacterial adherence (By similarity)

Bifid nose, with or without anorectal and renal anomalies

A disease characterized by the presence of a bifid nose usually associated with renal agenesis and anorectal malformations. A bifid nose is a congenital deformity due to failure of the paired nasal processes to fuse to a single midline organ during early gestation.

Acts as a positive regulator of ERK phosphorylation downstream of fibroblast growth factor-receptor activation (PubMed:23862974, PubMed:28157540). Involved in the regulation of both caspase-dependent apoptosis and caspase-independent cell death (PubMed:15178406). In the skin, it plays a predominant role in suppressing caspase-dependent apoptosis in response to UV stress in a range of dermal cell types (PubMed:28157540)

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract 1

A disorder encompassing a broad spectrum of renal and urinary tract malformations that include renal agenesis, kidney hypodysplasia, multicystic kidney dysplasia, duplex collecting system, posterior urethral valves and ureter abnormalities. Congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract are the commonest cause of chronic kidney disease in children.

Extracellular matrix protein required for maintenance of the integrity of the skin epithelium and for maintenance of renal epithelia (PubMed:15838507). Required for epidermal adhesion (PubMed:15838507). Involved in the development of eyelids and the anterior segment of the eyeballs (PubMed:29688405, PubMed:30802441)

Fraser syndrome 2

A form of Fraser syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cryptophthalmos, cutaneous syndactyly, and urogenital abnormalities including renal agenesis or hypoplasia. Additional features include abnormalities of the larynx, ear malformations, and facial abnormalities.

Involved in extracellular matrix organization (By similarity). Required for the regulation of epidermal-basement membrane adhesion responsible for proper organogenesis during embryonic development (By similarity). Involved in brain organization and function (By similarity)

Fraser syndrome 1

A form of Fraser syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cryptophthalmos, cutaneous syndactyly, and urogenital abnormalities including renal agenesis or hypoplasia. Additional features include abnormalities of the larynx, ear malformations, and facial abnormalities.

Plays a major role in early metanephros and genital development

Renal hypodysplasia/aplasia 3

A severe, autosomal dominant disease encompassing a spectrum of kidney development defects. Clinical manifestations are highly variable and include bilateral or unilateral renal agenesis, renal aplasia, hypoplasia, (cystic) dysplasia, severe obstructive uropathy, and vesicoureteral reflux. Bilateral renal agenesis is almost invariably fatal in utero or in the perinatal period. Unilateral renal agenesis can lead to future health issues including end-stage renal disease.

Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase involved in numerous cellular mechanisms including cell proliferation, neuronal navigation, cell migration, and cell differentiation in response to glia cell line-derived growth family factors (GDNF, NRTN, ARTN, PSPN and GDF15) (PubMed:20064382, PubMed:20616503, PubMed:20702524, PubMed:21357690, PubMed:21454698, PubMed:24560924, PubMed:28846097, PubMed:28846099, PubMed:28953886, PubMed:31118272). In contrast to most receptor tyrosine kinases, RET requires not onl

Hirschsprung disease 1

A disorder of neural crest development characterized by absence of enteric ganglia along a variable length of the intestine. It is the most common cause of congenital intestinal obstruction. Early symptoms range from complete acute neonatal obstruction, characterized by vomiting, abdominal distention and failure to pass stool, to chronic constipation in the older child.

Growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes, including neurogenesis, vascular development, angiogenesis and osteogenesis (PubMed:31363885). Acts in concert with PTHLH/PTHRP to stimulate ductal outgrowth during embryonic mammary development and to inhibit hair follicle induction (By similarity). Initiates the canonical BMP signaling cascade by associating with type I receptor BMPR1A and type II receptor BMPR2 (PubMed:25868050, PubMed:800600

Microphthalmia, syndromic, 6

A disease characterized by microphthalmia/anophthalmia associated with facial, genital, skeletal, neurologic and endocrine anomalies. Microphthalmia is a disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities.
