Primary Identifier | MGI:1919299 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 72049 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of germinal center formation; positive regulation of lymphocyte activation; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; lung; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency 4. Orthologous to human TNFRSF13C (TNF receptor superfamily member 13C). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene results in defective splenic B-cell maturation, reduced marginal zone B-cell numbers, and impaired T-cell-dependent antibody formation.
