description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to estrogen stimulus; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and cellular response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in synapse. Is expressed in lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrophic gastritis; carcinoma (multiple); coronary artery disease; fatal familial insomnia; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MIR146A (microRNA 146a). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased sensitivity to LPS and develop a lympho- and myeloproliferative syndrome.
