Primary Identifier | MGI:3605069 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 237313 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables interleukin-20 binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cytokine-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; and regulation of bone resorption. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in epididymis; eye; and ileum. Orthologous to human IL20RA (interleukin 20 receptor subunit alpha). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased bone mineral density, impaired osteoclast differentiation, and resistance to ovariectomized-inducced bone loss.
