| Primary Identifier | MGI:97243 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 16 | Mgi Type | polymorphic pseudogene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response and response to virus. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alopecia areata; avian influenza; liver disease; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human MX1 (MX dynamin like GTPase 1) and MX2 (MX dynamin like GTPase 2). PHENOTYPE: A2G, SL/NiA, T9 and CAST/Ei strains produce the MX1 protein (Mx1+ allele) conferring resistance to myxoviruses, whereas no protein is made by the Mx1- susceptible alleles of C57BL/6J and many other inbred strains with an exon 9-11 deletion; or CBA/J, CE/J, I/LnJ and PERA/Ei with a nonsense mutation.
