Primary Identifier | MGI:2445027 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 240354 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including innate immune response; lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of immune response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B-1 B cell differentiation; positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; and regulation of T cell receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol. Part of polkadots. Is expressed in nervous system and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 12; lymphoma; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Orthologous to human MALT1 (MALT1 paracaspase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene disrupts normal B cell development and leads to impaired cytokine production and T cell and B cell proliferative responses after antigen receptor engagement due to failure of NF-kappaB activation.
