Primary Identifier | MGI:2442789 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 319817 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA binding activity. Involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of T-helper 17 cell differentiation; and regulation of miRNA metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell activation; hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; and lymphocyte homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cell surface; intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; and membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic stress granule. Is expressed in cerebral cortex intermediate zone; cerebral cortex subventricular zone; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; and cortical plate. Orthologous to human RC3H2 (ring finger and CCCH-type domains 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a knock-out allele are viable and healthy but show increased TNF production by macrophages in response to LPS. Homozygotes for a different knock-out allele show postnatal lethality, decreased body size and weight, and an immature lung phenotype with decreased alveolar expansion. [provided by MGI curators] |
