Primary Identifier | MGI:1298217 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 13011 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of microglial cell activation and positive regulation of myelination. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; late endosome; and lysosome. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus and female reproductive system. Orthologous to human CST7 (cystatin F). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in no abnormal phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
