| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of myeloid cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in endocytic vesicle lumen and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including hemolymphoid system; liver; placenta; trunk; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic cutaneous vasculitis; artery disease (multiple); ischemia (multiple); leukemia (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CSF3 (colony stimulating factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit chronic neutropenia, with severely reduced peripheral blood neutrophil levels, and reduced resistance to Listeria monocytogenes infection. Heterozygotes have intermediate neutrophil levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
