Primary Identifier | MGI:1929470 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 54721 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable growth hormone receptor binding activity; non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and type 1 angiotensin receptor binding activity. Involved in cell population proliferation and positive regulation of T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of interleukin-12 receptor complex and interleukin-23 receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 35. Orthologous to human TYK2 (tyrosine kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are viable and fertile, but differ from wild-type with respect to interleukin 12 mediated T cell function. [provided by MGI curators] |
