Primary Identifier | MGI:2443552 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 210757 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway; negative T cell selection; and positive T cell selection. Located in cell-cell junction; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Part of COP9 signalosome. Is expressed in lymph node; spleen; and thymus. Orthologous to human THEMIS (thymocyte selection associated). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have defects in T cell positive selection that leads to very few alpha-beta T cells being found in the periphery. [provided by MGI curators] |
