Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables interleukin-2 receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of bone mineralization; regulation of type 2 immune response; and skeletal system development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; autopod; bone; cardiovascular system; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lipoid proteinosis. Orthologous to human ECM1 (extracellular matrix protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit auto-inflammatory disease and do not survive beyond 6 to 8 weeks of age.
