Primary Identifier | MGI:1930125 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 58205 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of T cell proliferation and positive regulation of T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system epithelium; forebrain; nose; retina; and skin. Orthologous to human PDCD1LG2 (programmed cell death 1 ligand 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have dendritic cells that display a diminished ability to activate CD4+ T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
