Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in Fc-gamma receptor signaling pathway involved in phagocytosis and T cell mediated immunity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell meandering migration; cell gliding; and phagocytosis. Located in several cellular components, including lamellipodium; microvillus; and phagocytic cup. Orthologous to human MYO1G (myosin IG). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced B cell spreading, migration and homing and impaired T cell motility. [provided by MGI curators] |
