Primary Identifier | MGI:104875 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 17000 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within myeloid dendritic cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and long bone. Orthologous to human LTBR (lymphotoxin beta receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation lack Peyer's patches, colon-associated lymphoid tissues, and lymph nodes. Mutants also exhibit severely reduced numbers of NK cells and increased susceptibility to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus. [provided by MGI curators] |
