Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell activation via T cell receptor contact with antigen bound to MHC molecule on antigen presenting cell; negative regulation of antigen processing and presentation; and negative regulation of memory T cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including endometrium epithelium; extraembryonic component; nervous system; placenta; and skeleton. Used to study autoimmune glomerulonephritis. Orthologous to human FGL2 (fibrinogen like 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice for one allele have unaltered type 1 immunity responses. Homozygous null mice for another allele show partial embryonic lethality, hemorrhage at implantation sites, decreased susceptibility to hepatitis virus infection and prolongedsurvival of heart grafts.
