Primary Identifier | MGI:96547 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 16181 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cytokine receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within insulin secretion and lipid metabolic process. Located in extracellular region and vesicle. Is expressed in skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); kidney failure (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and vascular disease (multiple). Orthologous to human IL1RN (interleukin 1 receptor antagonist). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mutations of this gene may result in decreased body weight, increased inflammatory response to turpentine and LPS, decreased susceptibility to bacterial infection, psoriasis, aortitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and abnormal dendritic and CD4-positive T cell morphology.
