Primary Identifier | MGI:95666 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 14468 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GMP binding activity and GTPase activity. Involved in cytolysis in another organism; positive regulation of defense response; and response to bacterium. Acts upstream of or within adhesion of symbiont to host; cellular response to interferon-beta; and defense response to other organism. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and symbiont-containing vacuole membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including GBP2 (guanylate binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit increased susceptibility to bacterial infection. [provided by MGI curators] |
