Primary Identifier | MGI:1196377 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 21929 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cytokine production; negative regulation of defense response; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within establishment of protein localization to vacuole; positive regulation of protein catabolic process; and protein K63-linked deubiquitination. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; colorectal cancer; esophageal cancer; and familial Behcet-like autoinflammatory syndrome. Orthologous to human TNFAIP3 (TNF alpha induced protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display runting, severe multi-organ inflammation, hypersensitivity to lipopolysaccharide and TNF, and premature death. Older mice homozygous for point mutations that disrupt deubiquitinating activity develop splenomegaly and show an increased number of myeloid cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
