Primary Identifier | MGI:88326 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 21940 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in CD27 signaling pathway; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of JNK cascade. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of T cell apoptotic process. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including femur; hemolymphoid system; intestine; pituitary gland; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lymphoproliferative syndrome 2. Orthologous to human CD27 (CD27 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have a normal phenotype. However, T-cell development immune responses are abnormal. [provided by MGI curators] |
