Primary Identifier | MGI:1916141 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 68891 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium-dependent protein binding activity; integrin binding activity; and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including neutrophil extravasation; positive regulation of superoxide anion generation; and regulation of vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and tertiary granule membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane raft. Is expressed in bone marrow; liver; spleen; and thymus. Orthologous to human CD177 (CD177 molecule). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased circulating neutrophils, increased neutrophil cell death and decreased neutrophils and monocytes early after S. aureus infection.
