description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly; neutrophil activation involved in immune response; and response to cortisol. Located in basal part of cell. Is expressed in reproductive system; stomach; trunk; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human GKN2 (gastrokine 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have impaired basal gastric epithelial differentiation and show accelerated progression to atrophic gastritis and metaplasia, hyperactivated Th1 immunity, increased mucosal innate immunity and impaired myeloid-derived suppressor cell responses after H. pylori infection.
