Primary Identifier | MGI:99546 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | Mgi Type | gene segment |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable antigen binding activity. Predicted to be involved in immunoglobulin mediated immune response. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of B cell receptor complex. Orthologous to several human genes including IGLC6 (immunoglobulin lambda constant 6). PHENOTYPE: Knock-in mice homozygous for a PGK-neo insertion and a serine codon mutation show altered kappa and lambda B cell number. Knock-in mice heterozygous for the same PGK-neo insertion and a valine mutation show abnormal immunoglobulin light chain V-J joiningwhile homozygotes show reduced B cell number.
