Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 233046 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables diacylglycerol binding activity. Involved in antibacterial innate immune response; phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated immunity. Located in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; peritoneal cavity; spleen; and tongue. Orthologous to human RASGRP4 (RAS guanyl releasing protein 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired neutrophil reactive oxygen species production and chemotaxis in vitro. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit decreased susceptibility to induced colitis and arthritis. [provided by MGI curators] |
