Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 16456 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity; integrin binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in intestinal absorption; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of membrane permeability. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion and epithelial cell differentiation. Located in bicellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-8 cell stage embryo; alimentary system; forebrain; sensory organ; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human F11R (F11 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display increased dendritic cell migratory ability and contact hypersensitivity. [provided by MGI curators] |
