Primary Identifier | MGI:1195273 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 21948 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables receptor ligand activity. Involved in T cell proliferation. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in Meckel's cartilage; hip; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lymphoproliferative syndrome. Orthologous to human CD70 (CD70 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Expansion of CD8+ cells after viral expansion is significantly less in mice with a homozygous deletion than in controls. However, the restimulation response is comparable to controls.
