Primary Identifier | MGI:101775 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 12519 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable receptor ligand activity. Acts upstream of or within T cell costimulation; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and positive regulation of alpha-beta T cell proliferation. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in heart ventricle and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CD80 (CD80 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in a 70% reduction in the mixed lymphocyte response in LPS- and dextran sulfate-stimulated B cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
