| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and complement component C1q complex binding activity. Acts upstream of or within complement activation and immunoglobulin mediated immune response. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including hemolymphoid system; liver; reproductive system; retina; and yolk sac. Used to study systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder; autoimmune disease (multiple); complement deficiency (multiple); and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to several human genes including C4A (complement C4A (Chido/Rodgers blood group)) and C4B (complement C4B (Chido/Rodgers blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous C4 deficient mice have compromised immune responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
