Primary Identifier | MGI:1355307 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 50929 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cytokine activity. Involved in negative regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; reactive oxygen species metabolic process; and regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in ileum; retina; and skin. Used to study liposarcoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human IL22 (interleukin 22). PHENOTYPE: Mutation of this locus results in abnormalities in Il23-induced dermal inflammation and acanthosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
