| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables siRNA binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; response to virus; and toll-like receptor 7 signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of interleukin-6 production; positive regulation of macrophage cytokine production; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and lysosome. Is expressed in brain and liver. Used to study systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19 and X-Linked immunodeficiency 74. Orthologous to human TLR7 (toll like receptor 7). PHENOTYPE: The innate immune response to viral infection is affected in homozygous null mice. Mice homozygous or hemizygous for a point mutation produce little or no tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha in response to stimulation by a single stranded RNA analog. [provided by MGI curators] |
