Primary Identifier | MGI:88323 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 12484 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables Hsp70 protein binding activity; Hsp90 protein binding activity; and carbohydrate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chemokine receptor transport out of membrane raft; negative regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of inflammatory response to wounding. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of immune response; regulation of cell-cell adhesion; and regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in several cellular components, including cell projection membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; forebrain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human CD24 (CD24 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in slight impairment of B cell development. Mutant erythrocytes have increased tendency to aggregate. [provided by MGI curators] |
