Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 19152 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mature conventional dendritic cell differentiation; membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis; and neutrophil extravasation. Predicted to act upstream of or within collagen catabolic process. Predicted to be located in azurophil granule lumen; cytosol; and plasma membrane raft. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in early conceptus and liver. Orthologous to human PRTN3 (proteinase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit delayed neutrophil death and increased neutrophil accumulation at sites of inflammation in a murine model of peritonitis.
