Primary Identifier | MGI:88236 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 110382 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in complement activation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of membrane attack complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in brain; liver and biliary system; stomach; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type II complement component 8 deficiency. Orthologous to human C8B (complement C8 beta chain). PHENOTYPE: In a controlled microbial environment ("clean") laboratory, mice homozygous for an inactivating mutation of this gene are viable and fertile and exhibit no apparent abonormal phenotype.
