| Primary Identifier | MGI:1924375 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 77125 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytokine activity and interleukin-33 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including antibacterial innate immune response; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of macrophage proliferation; positive regulation of cellular defense response; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; inflammatory bowel disease; and peptic ulcer disease. Orthologous to human IL33 (interleukin 33). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mutations lead to altered Type 2 immunity and increased susceptibility to parasite infection. Homozygotes for a null allele show accelerated ovarian functional decline and early reproductive aging due to impaired migration of ovarian macrophages and failed disposal of atretic follicles.
