Primary Identifier | MGI:1278342 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 16841 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in liver lobe; lung; and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human LECT2 (leukocyte cell derived chemotaxin 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display increased hepatic NKT cell numbers, increased induced cytokine secretion, and increased sensitivity to induced hepatitis. [provided by MGI curators] |
