Primary Identifier | MGI:1923724 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 100689 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables antigen binding activity and lipopolysaccharide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to other organism; opsonization; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human SPON2 (spondin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have an essentially normal phenotype. There is some alteration in succeptibility to bacterial infection however. [provided by MGI curators] |
