Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Involved in leukocyte activation involved in immune response and positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated immunity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including natural killer cell inhibitory signaling pathway; regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity; and regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Orthologous to human SH2D1B (SH2 domain containing 1B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit NK cells with enhanced cytolytic capacity and an increased IFN-gamma secretion. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit impaired NK cell cytolysis. [provided by MGI curators] |
