| Primary Identifier | MGI:96837 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 17002 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including monoatomic ion transport; ossification; and proteolysis. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; epithelium; genitourinary system; gut; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LTF (lactotransferrin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile, and grossly normal and exhibit only minor alterations in iron homeostasis. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele show increased susceptibility to inflammation-induced colorectal dysplasia along with increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis in colonic tissues.
