Primary Identifier | MGI:107676 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 21353 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables molecular function inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human TANK (TRAF family member associated NFKB activator). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice develop fatal glomerulonephritis owing to deposition of immune complexes. Dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells from these mice are hyper-responsive to stimuli leading to increased production of immunoglobulins and inflammatory cytokines. [provided by MGI curators] |
