Primary Identifier | MGI:88321 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 12482 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and immunoglobulin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of calcium ion import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency 5. Orthologous to human MS4A1 (membrane spanning 4-domains A1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this locus affects B cell physiology but does not impair B cell development or overall immune function. [provided by MGI curators] |
