| Primary Identifier | MGI:2444563 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 320701 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including macrophage chemotaxis; phagocytosis; and superoxide anion generation. Acts upstream of or within regulation of membrane potential and regulation of sensory perception of pain. Located in extracellular space. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; inner ear; and tooth. Orthologous to human TAFA4 (TAFA chemokine like family member 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased mechanical and chemical nociception following inflammation or injury due to alterations in lamina IIi neuron excitability.
