Primary Identifier | MGI:1859822 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 54698 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of tumor cell; establishment of T cell polarity; and regulation of T cell activation. Located in immunological synapse. Orthologous to human CRTAM (cytotoxic and regulatory T cell molecule). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have defects in late stage T cell activation that leads to less production of inflammatory cytokines, higher proliferation, and an increase in T cell number with age.
