Primary Identifier | MGI:1921579 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 67313 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in adherens junction maintenance; intestinal epithelial structure maintenance; and positive regulation of protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear body. Is expressed in gut; metanephros; olfactory epithelium; respiratory system; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inflammatory bowel disease 29. Orthologous to human INAVA (innate immunity activator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele have defects in the intestinal epithelial cell barrier and exhibit increased susceptibility to DSS-induced colitis and Citrobacter rodentium infection.
