Primary Identifier | MGI:96777 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 16852 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables carbohydrate binding activity. Acts upstream of or within T cell costimulation; myoblast differentiation; and plasma cell differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; main olfactory bulb; and olfactory system. Orthologous to human LGALS1 (galectin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal sensory neurons, altered immune system and delayed muscle development. [provided by MGI curators] |
