Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within T cell mediated cytotoxicity and adaptive immune memory response involving T cells and B cells. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; spleen; and submandibular gland primordium epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer. Orthologous to human EBAG9 (estrogen receptor binding site associated antigen 9). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have decreased susceptibility to bacterial infections and have CD8+ T cells with enhanced cytolytic activity. [provided by MGI curators] |
