Primary Identifier | MGI:1914634 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 67384 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable adenyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; protein-folding chaperone binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of supramolecular fiber organization; and regulation of phosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol; membrane; and nucleus. Is expressed in foregut; heart ventricle; nose; pituitary gland; and urethra. Orthologous to human BAG4 (BAG cochaperone 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant animals may show enhanced cytokine response and increased IL-6 production following TNF challenge. Studies on two different alleles of this gene are not in agreement. [provided by MGI curators] |
