Primary Identifier | MGI:2147191 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 106869 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables molecular sequestering activity and small molecule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; choroid plexus; musculoskeletal system; respiratory system; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human TNFAIP8 (TNF alpha induced protein 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased susceptibility to induced colitis. [provided by MGI curators] |
