Primary Identifier | MGI:102696 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 18716 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable IgG binding activity; aspartic-type endopeptidase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of immune system process. Located in apical plasma membrane and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including exocrine system and female reproductive system. Orthologous to human PIP (prolactin induced protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit enlarged submandibular lymph nodes, enlarged medulla of the thymus and abnormal prostate gland dorsolateral lobe morphology.
