Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 380916 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cellular response to chemokine; negative regulation of GTPase activity; and negative regulation of T cell migration. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human LRCH1 (leucine rich repeats and calponin homology domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout leads to increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis as a result of increased migration of T cells into the central nervous system.
