| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytokine activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell activation; lymph node development; and regulation of lymphocyte activation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; immune system; nervous system; and olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aspergillosis; asthma; pleurisy; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human IL15 (interleukin 15). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene have normal life spans but display a variety of immune system abnormalities and maternal placental defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
