| Primary Identifier | MGI:98384 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 20737 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables heat shock protein binding activity. Involved in leukocyte tethering or rolling; negative regulation of T cell proliferation; and positive regulation of T cell migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; regulation of T cell activation; and regulation of defense response. Located in basement membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and uropod. Is expressed in hematopoietic system; umbilical artery; vascular system; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human SPN (sialophorin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show increased T cell proliferation in response to various stimulation agents and natural antigens, enhanced homotypic adhesion, transient resistance to melanoma growth and metastasis, and decreased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
