Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within T cell activation and signal transduction. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; bone; hemolymphoid system; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human CD48 (CD48 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in a slight increase in CD4+CD8- thymocytes and impaired T cell proliferation in response to mitogens, anti-CD3 antibodies, and alloantigens.
