Function

Required for normal bone mineralization.

Involvement in disease

Osteogenesis imperfecta 5

OI5

An autosomal dominant form of osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder of bone formation characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. Disease severity ranges from very mild forms without fractures to intrauterine fractures and perinatal lethality. Extraskeletal manifestations, which affect a variable number of patients, are dentinogenesis imperfecta, hearing loss, and blue sclerae. OI5 patients manifest moderate to severe bone fragility, calcification of the forearm interosseous membrane, radial head dislocation, a subphyseal metaphyseal radiodense line, and hyperplastic callus formation.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Palmitoylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the CD225/Dispanin family.

Tissue specificity

Detected in osteoblasts and fibroblasts (at protein level) (PubMed:24519609). Detected in bone (PubMed:24058703).
