Primary Identifier | MGI:2143702 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 209558 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables nucleoside triphosphate diphosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including basophil activation involved in immune response; negative regulation of mast cell activation involved in immune response; and negative regulation of mast cell proliferation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in femur. Orthologous to human ENPP3 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele exhibit increased numbers of basophils and mast cells with increased susceptibility to chronic allergic responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
