Primary Identifier | MGI:2684869 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 214158 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of defense response to virus; positive regulation of viral genome replication; and protein K48-linked ubiquitination. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human TRIM38 (tripartite motif containing 38). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased poly(I:C) and LPS-induced IFN-beta, TNFalpha and IL6 with increased induced mortality induced by poly(I:C), LPS or S. typhimurium infection, [provided by MGI curators] |
