Primary Identifier | MGI:1929601 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 65113 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables WW domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of interleukin-4 production; negative regulation of type 2 immune response; and regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in Golgi apparatus and cell cortex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; retina; and rib. Orthologous to human NDFIP1 (Nedd4 family interacting protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene-trapped allele develop severe inflammation of the skin and lung due to T-cell hyperactivation and abnormal T-helper 2 physiology, and die prematurely. Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit hypersensitivity of dopaminergic neurons to iron toxicity. [provided by MGI curators] |
