Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 12700 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cytokine receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in heart; liver; retina; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in malaria and tuberculosis. Orthologous to human CISH (cytokine inducible SH2 containing protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit enhanced Th2 and Th9 differentiation and allergic airway inflammation. [provided by MGI curators] |
