Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 69137 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including filopodium assembly; positive regulation of excitatory synapse assembly; and protein homooligomerization. Located in axon; dendrite; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; gut; and urinary system. Orthologous to human VSTM5 (V-set and transmembrane domain containing 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit slightly less IL2 secretion from T cells in response to SEB-loaded B cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
