Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable interleukin-1 receptor binding activity and pattern recognition receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in inflammatory response; pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; sensory organ; and trunk unsegmented mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Legionnaires' disease; cystic fibrosis; cystitis; melioidosis; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human TLR5 (toll like receptor 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene have a generally normal phenotype. However they fail to respond immunologically to purified flagellin and are resistant to infection with Salmonella typhimurium. [provided by MGI curators] |
