| Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 16198 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables cytokine activity. Involved in positive regulation of interleukin-5 production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell activation; regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; and regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in gut; liver; thymus; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human IL9 (interleukin 9). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and show no overt phenotype, however when challenged, aspects of the inflammatory response are shown to be impaired. [provided by MGI curators] |
