Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; negative regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and positive regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; epithelium; oocyte; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human PDCD4 (programmed cell death 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele have a higher prevalence of B cell derived lymphomas, multi-organ cysts and decreased susceptibility to experimentally induced autoimmune encephalomyelitis and type 1 diabetes.
