Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 18782 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity; heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity; and heparin binding activity. Involved in glycerophospholipid metabolic process and regulation of acute inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Acts upstream of or within CD4-positive, CD25-positive, alpha-beta regulatory T cell differentiation and negative regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Orthologous to human PLA2G2D (phospholipase A2 group IID). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired resolution of hapten-induced contact hypersensitivity. [provided by MGI curators] |
