Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in T cell costimulation; T cell tolerance induction; and cell-cell adhesion. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Used to study common variable immunodeficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in celiac disease; common variable immunodeficiency 1; and immunoglobulin alpha deficiency. Orthologous to human ICOS (inducible T cell costimulator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene show reduced basal IgG1 levels and impaired interactions between T and B cells. T cell dependent B cell isotype switching was impaired as well.
