Primary Identifier | MGI:1306805 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 21785 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables CXCR4 chemokine receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of gastric acid secretion; negative regulation of macrophage activation; and positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; liver; skeleton; and thymus. Orthologous to human TFF2 (trefoil factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in decreased gastric proliferation, increased acid secretion, increased susceptibility to gastric ulceration after indomethacin administration, and altered regulation of genes involved in adaptive and immune responses in the pyloric antrum.
