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-helper 17 cell lineage commitment and positive regulation of interleukin-17 production. Located in cell surface. Orthologous to human LY9 (lymphocyte antigen 9). PHENOTYPE: This locus controls an antigen on thymocytes, lymphocytes and bone marrow cells. The a allele determines Ly9.1 antigen in A/J, 129/Re, BALB/c and C3H/He; the b allele determines antigen Ly9.2 in the C57 family of strains, HTI/Go, MA/My, F/St and C58/Lw. Null mutants are viable, healthy and fertile. [provided by MGI curators] |
