Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Involved in cellular response to interferon-alpha. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to interferon-beta; positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nuclear inclusion body and nucleolus. Is expressed in esophagus; male reproductive gland or organ; and tibia. Orthologous to several human genes including IFI16 (interferon gamma inducible protein 16). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show decreased susceptibility to LPS-induced shock, showing decreased secretion and serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. [provided by MGI curators] |
