Primary Identifier | MGI:1924885 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 54607 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of T cell activation and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in immunological synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including jaw; medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; and retina. Orthologous to human SOCS6 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation exhibit reduced body weight, but normal hematopoiesis and glucose homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
