Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cytokine production; negative regulation of lymphocyte proliferation; and oligodendrocyte apoptotic process. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including lip; lung; metanephros; nervous system; and nose. Orthologous to human TNFRSF21 (TNF receptor superfamily member 21). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired T cell differentiation and an enhanced Th2 response. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele show increased CD4+ T cell proliferation and Th2 cytokine production, and enhanced B cell proliferation, survival, and humoral responses.
