Primary Identifier | MGI:1197009 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 11797 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in necroptotic process and positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to tumor necrosis factor; negative regulation of necroptotic process; and negative regulation of ripoptosome assembly involved in necroptotic process. Located in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Part of CD40 receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer. Orthologous to human BIRC2 (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice showed a modest reduction in the number of lymphocytes. Mice homozygous for a knock-in allele exhibit increased T cell poliferation and IFNG secretion in response to anti-CD3 stimulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
