Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 230979 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cytokine binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to bacterium; negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in liver lobe. Orthologous to human TNFRSF14 (TNF receptor superfamily member 14). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele are less susceptible to induced colitis. Homozygotes for a second null allele exhibit enhanced responses to various T cell stimuli and are more susceptible to developing autoimmune diseases. Homozygotes for a third null allele show reduced length of allograft survival. [provided by MGI curators] |
