Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 15894 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell antigen processing and presentation; cellular response to glucose stimulus; and cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Located in external side of plasma membrane and immunological synapse. Colocalizes with membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; frontal suture; lung; skin; and thymus primordium. Used to study malaria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; diabetic retinopathy; inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); and uveitis (multiple). Orthologous to human ICAM1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in impaired inflammatory and immune responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
