| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables several functions, including anion binding activity; histone H3K4me3 reader activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in V(D)J recombination and pre-B cell allelic exclusion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell homeostatic proliferation; lymphocyte differentiation; and positive regulation of organ growth. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of DNA recombinase complex. Is expressed in gut; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Used to study Omenn syndrome and severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, Nk cell-positive. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Omenn syndrome; combined cellular and humoral immune defects with granulomas; severe combined immunodeficiency; and severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, Nk cell-positive. Orthologous to human RAG2 (recombination activating 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit arrested development of T and B cell maturation at the CD4-8- thymocyte or B220+/CD43+pro-B cell stage due to inability to undergo V(D)J recombination.
