| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 16994 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Involved in positive regulation of interleukin-12 production. Acts upstream of or within gene expression; lymph node development; and skin development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hemolymphoid system; liver; lung; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human LTB (lymphotoxin beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations lack peripheral lymph nodes, Peyer's patches, splenic germinal centers and follicular dendritic cells. Mutants exhibit lymphocytosis in the circulation and peritoneal cavity with infiltrations of the lung and liver. [provided by MGI curators] |
