Primary Identifier | MGI:2157947 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 170779 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables D-mannose binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to bacterium; endocytosis; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coronavirus infectious disease; aspergillosis; dengue disease (multiple); human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease (multiple); and tuberculosis (multiple). Orthologous to human CD209 (CD209 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal susceptibility to bacterial infection despite decreased T and B cell proliferation and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen.
