Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 18807 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables single-stranded DNA 5'-3' DNA exonuclease activity. Involved in regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Located in late endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia 46. Orthologous to human PLD3 (phospholipase D family member 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout alters the response of macrophages to single-stranded oligodeoxynucleic acids (ODNs). The enzyme digests unphosphorylated 5' ends of single-stranded ODNs without secondary structure in endolysosomes. [provided by MGI curators] |
