Primary Identifier | MGI:1926262 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 54396 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to protozoan; negative regulation of non-canonical inflammasome complex assembly; and protein targeting to vacuolar membrane. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Is active in Golgi membrane; cytosol; and vacuolar membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inflammatory bowel disease 19 and tuberculosis. Orthologous to human IRGM (immunity related GTPase M). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired cell-autonomous Toxoplasma killing. [provided by MGI curators] |
