Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 76399 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytokine activity and oncostatin-M receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in immune system process and signal transduction. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human IL31 (interleukin 31). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal skin dendritic cell function and induction of local inflammation but decreased pruritus during FITC- or DNFB-induced contact hypersensitivity.
