Primary Identifier | MGI:104512 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 22163 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables tumor necrosis factor receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of B cell proliferation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular defense response; negative regulation of cytokine production; and tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 16. Orthologous to human TNFRSF4 (TNF receptor superfamily member 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygote null mice have defects in T cell response to antigen including proliferation, production of cytokines, and generation of memory T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
