Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including natural killer cell differentiation; neutrophil-mediated killing of gram-negative bacterium; and regulation of cytokine production. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in liver and metanephros. Orthologous to human TUSC2 (tumor suppressor 2, mitochondrial calcium regulator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele develop signs of autoimmune disease and premature aging and exhibit multiple aging-related pathologies, chronic inflammation, low reserve respiratory capacity, altered steady-state and stimuli-induced calcium homeostasis, and premature death.
