description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including integrin activation; positive regulation of immunoglobulin production; and regulation of B cell proliferation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen and extracellular region. Part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Is expressed in thymus primordium. Orthologous to human MZB1 (marginal zone B and B1 cell specific protein). PHENOTYPE: Constitutive and B cell specific conditional homozygous KO impairs the immune response by affecting B cell maturation. [provided by MGI curators] |
