Primary Identifier | MGI:97478 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 18489 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including hormone activity; identical protein binding activity; and peptidoglycan binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; hypoglossal nerve; and intestine. Orthologous to several human genes including REG3A (regenerating family member 3 alpha). PHENOTYPE: Male homozygous mice exhibit impaired glucose tolerance. [provided by MGI curators] |
