Primary Identifier | MGI:107414 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 22035 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables TRAIL binding activity and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis and small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human TNFSF10 (TNF superfamily member 10). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show thymus hyperplasia, abnormal negative T cell selection, increased susceptibility to autoimmune diseases and to tumor initiation and metastasis, and resistance to induced hepatitis. Homozygotes for another null allele are unable to control A20 lymphoma progression. [provided by MGI curators] |
