Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within defense response to bacterium; plasmacytoid dendritic cell chemotaxis; and plasmacytoid dendritic cell differentiation. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in heart ventricle; lung; and pituitary gland. Orthologous to human SLAMF9 (SLAM family member 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased plasmacytoid dendrtic cell numbrs in the lymph nodes and delayed onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis with milder disease.
