Primary Identifier | MGI:95494 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 14125 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables IgE binding activity and IgE receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including leukotriene biosynthetic process; positive regulation of immune effector process; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human FCER1A (Fc epsilon receptor Ia). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal mast cell physiology and altered susceptibility to type I hypersensitivity reaction. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele display altered development of allergic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. [provided by MGI curators] |
