Primary Identifier | MGI:98178 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 20128 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including protein homodimerization activity; transcription coactivator activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cytokine production; protein autoubiquitination; and regulation of pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and limb. Orthologous to human TRIM5 (tripartite motif containing 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show increased CD4/CD8 ratio with age, an abnormal CD4+ T cell response upon TCR activation, and reduced effector function of CD4+ T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
