Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable type II interferon receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 28. Orthologous to human IFNGR2 (interferon gamma receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene develop normally.
