Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable D-mannose binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and pattern recognition receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antifungal innate immune response; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and plasmacytoid dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CLEC4A (C-type lectin domain family 4 member A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3 levels, increased B cell proliferation, enlarged lymph nodes and degeneration of seminiferous tubules.
