| Primary Identifier | MGI:96609 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 16411 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable integrin binding activity and receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of gene expression and positive regulation of myelination. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in heart and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human ITGAX (integrin subunit alpha X). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, decreased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), increased T cell proliferation, and an abnormal pattern of cytokine production during EAE.
