Primary Identifier | MGI:96902 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 17110 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and lysozyme activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi cis cisterna; cytoplasmic vesicle; and rough endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Is expressed in embryo mesenchyme; intestine; liver and biliary system; and lung. Orthologous to human LYZ (lysozyme). PHENOTYPE: This locus controls heat stability of lysozyme P. The d allele determines low heat stability in C3H/He; the c allele determines high heat stability in CASA. Another variation, measured as electrophoretic mobility, is seen between BALB/c and M. spretus. [provided by MGI curators] |
