Primary Identifier | MGI:1314883 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 21938 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables tumor necrosis factor receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of extracellular matrix constituent secretion; regulation of nervous system development; and semi-lunar valve development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including RNA destabilization; apoptotic signaling pathway; and negative regulation of inflammatory response. Located in membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Parkinsonism; acne; bone disease (multiple); glomerulonephritis (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human TNFRSF1B (TNF receptor superfamily member 1B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit altered inflammatory responses in a variety of experimental conditions, impaired recovery from spinal cord injury, enhanced ischemia-reperfusion-induced retinal damage, and resistance to cerebral malaria.
