Primary Identifier | MGI:1201791 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 12702 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables miRNA binding activity and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Involved in cellular response to interleukin-17. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; liver; placenta; retina; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human SOCS3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for mutations cause impairment if gene expression show immunological and hematopoetic abnormalities. Complete gene disruption causes lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
