Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 16155 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables interleukin-10 receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in interleukin-10-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of cellular respiration; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in graft-versus-host disease; hepatitis B; and inflammatory bowel disease 25. Orthologous to human IL10RB (interleukin 10 receptor subunit beta). PHENOTYPE: Most mice homozygous for a knock-out allele develop moderate to severe colitis without small intestinal involvement and splenomegaly with a hyperproliferative splenic red pulp.
