Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 57781 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of interleukin-6 production; negative regulation of mononuclear cell migration; and negative regulation of neuroinflammatory response. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; liver lobe; retina; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to several human genes including CD200R1 (CD200 receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption of this gene display abnormal sleep patterns including fragmented vigilance states and diminished duration of wakefulness. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit protection from HSV-1 encephalitis. [provided by MGI curators] |
