Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 26362 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity; phosphatidylserine binding activity; and virus receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cytokine production; nervous system development; and neutrophil clearance. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; cell surface; and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and respiratory system. Used to study autoimmune disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AXL (AXL receptor tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are phenotypically normal, however in conjunction with mutations in other related receptor tyrosine kinases, mutations of this gene results in fertility defects, autoimmunity abnormalities, and aberrant apoptosis.
