Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 14191 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including immunoglobulin receptor binding activity; non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Involved in several processes, including integrin-mediated signaling pathway; negative regulation of natural killer cell activation; and regulation of vesicle-mediated transport. Acts upstream of or within bone mineralization and skeletal system morphogenesis. Located in plasma membrane. Colocalizes with actin cytoskeleton and ruffle membrane. Is expressed in 2-cell stage embryo; blastocyst; metanephros; nervous system; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human FGR (FGR proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a partial reduction in hemorrhage following induction of a local Shwartzman reaction, and show enhanced NK-cell receptor-induced IFN-gamma production in natural killer (NK) cells.
