Primary Identifier | MGI:96878 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 17060 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including SH2 domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Involved in positive regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; immune system; liver; and olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in agammaglobulinemia and agammaglobulinemia 4. Orthologous to human BLNK (B cell linker). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit a partial block in pre-B cell development, a lack of B1 B cells, reduced numbers of mature B cells, lower IgM and IgG3 serum levels, poor IgM immune responses, and a high incidence of pre-B cell lymphoma.
