Primary Identifier | MGI:99554 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 19039 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable scavenger receptor activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; integumental system; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human LGALS3BP (galectin 3 binding protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants are more susceptible to bacterial infection and overproduce IL-12, interferon-gamma and TNF-alpha. [provided by MGI curators] |
