Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 20295 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable CCR4 chemokine receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of myoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including Sertoli cell; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system; integument; and mandible. Orthologous to human CCL17 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased contact hypersensitivity and increased allograft survival. [provided by MGI curators] |
