Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 65221 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptidoglycan transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in peptidoglycan transport and positive regulation of nucleotide-binding activity oligomerization domain containing 2 signaling pathway. Located in endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut; hemolymphoid system; liver lobe; and testis. Orthologous to human SLC15A3 (solute carrier family 15 member 3). PHENOTYPE: The gene is involved in pathogen sensing by dendritic cells. Homozygous KO results in a reduction of the number of these cells displaying tubular endo-lysosomes after LPS treatment.
