Primary Identifier | MGI:99614 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 19882 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to virus. Located in plasma membrane; stress fiber; and vacuole. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; cranial nerve; extraembryonic component; and musculoskeletal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nasopharynx carcinoma. Orthologous to human MST1R (macrophage stimulating 1 receptor). PHENOTYPE: This locus controls susceptibility to splenomegaly or spleen focus formation induced by inoculation with Friend leukemia virus. [provided by MGI curators] |
