description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to estrogen stimulus; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and cellular response to lipopolysaccharide. Is expressed in cerebral cortex intermediate zone; cortical plate; embryo; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human MIR223 (microRNA 223). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit hypermature granulocytes that are hypersensitive to activating stimuli and display increased fungicidal activity. Mutant mice develop inflammatory lung pathology and show exaggerated tissue destruction afterendotoxin challenge. [provided by MGI curators] |
