Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable complement receptor activity and opsonin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to hypoxia; complement activation; and negative regulation of complement activation. Located in basolateral plasma membrane and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in malaria. Orthologous to several human genes including CR1L (complement C3b/C4b receptor 1 like). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele die by E16.5 with abnormal C3 deposition. Mice homozygous for a null allele activated in single positive thymocytes exhibit T cell lymphopenia. [provided by MGI curators] |
