Primary Identifier | MGI:1921298 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 74048 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable endopeptidase activator activity; enzyme binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; negative regulation of T cell cytokine production; and positive regulation of BMP signaling pathway. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including immune system; liver; lung; male reproductive gland or organ; and small intestine lamina propria. Orthologous to human VSIR (V-set immunoregulatory receptor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased leukocyte infiltration and T cell activation.
