Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including mast cell degranulation; negative regulation of natural killer cell activation; and positive regulation of natural killer cell cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway. Located in mast cell granule. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human CLNK (cytokine dependent hematopoietic cell linker). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele display altered natural killer (NK) T cell physiology and enhanced NK cell cytolysis. Mice homozygous for knock-out allele display abnormal mast cell physiology as well as enhanced NK cell cytolysis. [provided by MGI curators] |
