| Primary Identifier | MGI:107674 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 12479 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables T cell receptor binding activity and endogenous lipid antigen binding activity. Involved in NK T cell differentiation and regulation of immature T cell proliferation in thymus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including antigen processing and presentation, exogenous lipid antigen via MHC class Ib; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of leukocyte activation. Located in endosome; external side of plasma membrane; and lysosome. Is expressed in forebrain; intestine; jaw bone; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human CD1D (CD1d molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations lack natural killer T cells, and mutant splenocytes fail to produce interleukin 4 (IL4).
