| Primary Identifier | MGI:98279 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 20343 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to ATP. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; brainstem; submandibular gland epithelium; and testis. Used to study type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crohn's disease; IgA glomerulonephritis; and ulcerative colitis. Orthologous to human SELL (selectin L). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit lack of lymphocyte binding to high endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes and defects in leukocyte rolling and neutrophil migration into the peritoneum following an inflammatory stimulus. Tumor cell survival is also reduced. Homozygosity for an amino-acid substitution results in enhanced peripheral blood neutrophil inflammatory response. [provided by MGI curators] |
