| Primary Identifier | MGI:88346 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12525 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cytotoxic T cell differentiation; defense response to virus; and positive regulation of calcium-mediated signaling. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; exocrine gland; genitourinary system; gut; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human CD8A (CD8 subunit alpha). PHENOTYPE: Animals homozygous for a mutation in this gene lack CD8+CD4- cytotoxic T cells in the thymus and spleen and do not mount a cytotoxic response to alloantigens. [provided by MGI curators] |
