Primary Identifier | MGI:2685266 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 242100 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable peptidoglycan binding activity; peptidoglycan immune receptor activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within biological process involved in interaction with host; negative regulation of natural killer cell differentiation involved in immune response; and negative regulation of type II interferon production. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; immune system; nervous system; and testis. Orthologous to human PGLYRP3 (peptidoglycan recognition protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased susceptibility to DSS-induced colitis. [provided by MGI curators] |
