Primary Identifier | MGI:2385459 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 56468 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus; negative regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of T-helper cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in retina. Orthologous to human SOCS5 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants are viable and fertile with normal immune system morphology and function.
