Primary Identifier | MGI:2445095 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 224109 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Involved in several processes, including microglia development; sequestering of TGFbeta in extracellular matrix; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in cell surface and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in embryo and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human NRROS (negative regulator of reactive oxygen species). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout leads to increased oxidative stress and susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, but to reduced susceptibility to bacterial infections.
