Primary Identifier | MGI:3642260 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 100043314 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of T cell activation. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface. Orthologous to human TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased T cell proliferation, antigen presenting cell stimuation of T cell proliferation, and susceptibility to EAE.
