Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in innate immune response; negative regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; and negative regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in liver. Orthologous to human NLRC5 (NLR family CARD domain containing 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal cytokine production induced by virus and bacteria infection. [provided by MGI curators] |
