Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 380924 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cadherin binding activity and structural molecule activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction and negative regulation of immune response. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in bone marrow; colon; intestine; metanephros; and small intestine. Orthologous to human OLFM4 (olfactomedin 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced colonization of the gastric mucosa by Helicobacter pylori but increased inflammatory response to H. pylori infection.
