Primary Identifier | MGI:1270861 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 16162 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to cytokine and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; genitourinary system; incisor; olfactory epithelium; and submandibular gland. Orthologous to human IL12RB2 (interleukin 12 receptor subunit beta 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele have defects in IFN-gamma production and cytotoxic T lymphocyte and NK cytotoxicity, develop an autoimmune/lymphoproliferative disorder associated with higher susceptibility to spontaneous tumor formation, but show reduced in vivo growth of B16 melanoma tumors.
