Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 60504 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytokine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in lung; mandible; and orbito-sphenoid. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in B-cell lymphoma (multiple); Crohn's disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease; and immunodeficiency 56. Orthologous to human IL21R (interleukin 21 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutation of this gene results in decreased immunoglobulin levels, decreased Th17 T cell differentation, and decreased production of IL-17. [provided by MGI curators] |
