Primary Identifier | MGI:1202301 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 16396 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of JNK cascade; negative regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; and protein K48-linked ubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell anergy; and positive regulation of protein catabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; cytoplasmic vesicle; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ITCH (itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU mutation exhibit increased total IgE levels in the peripheral blood and an enhanced IgE response to the cysteine protease allergen, papain.
