Primary Identifier | MGI:99668 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 20612 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable virion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of T cell apoptotic process and positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in early endosome; late endosome; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in immune system; reproductive system; and skin. Orthologous to human SIGLEC1 (sialic acid binding Ig like lectin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene display subtle changes in B- and T-cell populations and decreased IgM levels. Mice homozygous for a knock-out or knock-in allele exhibit impaired phagocytosis of sialylated C. jejuni. [provided by MGI curators] |
