Primary Identifier | MGI:109266 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 14938 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables serine-type peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in extracellular space and nucleus. Is expressed in thymus primordium. Orthologous to human GZMA (granzyme A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show normal T/NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity, recovery from LCM virus or L. monocytogenes infection, and control of syngeneic tumor growth. Homozygotes for a different null allele show defective CTL cytolysis and increased tumor burden upon challenge with RMAS cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
