Primary Identifier | MGI:3041243 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 243910 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables NF-kappaB binding activity. Involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway and positive regulation of T-helper 17 cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of T cell differentiation in thymus; negative regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and positive regulation of thymocyte apoptotic process. Located in nucleus. Orthologous to human NFKBID (NFKB inhibitor delta). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele produce higher levels of IL-6 following stimulation and are more susceptible to chemically induced endotoxin shock and colitis.
