Primary Identifier | MGI:1916396 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 69146 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phospholipid binding activity; transcription coactivator activity; and wide pore channel activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to bacterium; positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production; and protein-containing complex assembly. Located in cytosol; extracellular space; and mitochondrial membrane. Part of NLRP3 inflammasome complex. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; gut; liver; metanephros; and spleen. Orthologous to human GSDMD (gasdermin D). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and grossly normal with no apparent defects in the development and maintenance of the intestinal epithelium. Mice homozygous for another null allele exhibit impaired induced pyroptosis and Il1b secretion. [provided by MGI curators] |
