description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables virus receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including innate immune response; osteoblast development; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within myeloid cell differentiation and negative regulation of myeloid cell apoptotic process. Located in cell surface. Orthologous to human CLEC5A (C-type lectin domain containing 5A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased susceptibility to induced arthritis. [provided by MGI curators] |
