Primary Identifier | MGI:1343050 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 21935 |
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 lymphocyte homeostasis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including hemolymphoid system gland; hippocampus; male reproductive gland or organ; superior cervical ganglion; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon carcinoma and multiple myeloma. Orthologous to human TNFRSF17 (TNF receptor superfamily member 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for targeted null mutations in this gene are viable and fertile with no apparent defects in immune system development or function. [provided by MGI curators] |
