| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 83382 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables monosaccharide binding activity and sialic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion; negative regulation of inflammatory response; and negative regulation of phagocytosis, engulfment. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Orthologous to several human genes including SIGLEC9 (sialic acid binding Ig like lectin 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele or a knock-in allele that destroys the sialic acid binding site exhibit increased neutrophil and macrophage recruitment in an LPS-induced model of acute lung ariway inflammation.
