| Primary Identifier | MGI:96537 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 16153 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation; and positive regulation of sprouting angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to hepatocyte growth factor stimulus; negative regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in colon; liver; mandible; thymus; and thymus primordium. Used to study inflammatory bowel disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human IL10 (interleukin 10). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit retarded growth, anemia, chronic enterocolitis, a high incidence of colorectal adenocarcinomas, and altered responses to various infectious organisms such as Mycobacterium bovis and Leishmania donovani.
