Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within T cell differentiation in thymus and cell-cell adhesion. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; epithelium; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 111. Orthologous to human MPZL2 (myelin protein zero like 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation exhibit alterations in immune cell percentages in peripheral blood and in spleen. [provided by MGI curators] |
