Primary Identifier | MGI:102968 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 16639 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within response to virus. Located in cell surface. PHENOTYPE: Most mouse strains other than C57BL/6 and C57BL/10 lack this gene and this correlates with an increased susceptiblity to CMV infection. A congenic strain in which the CMV resistant allele from C57BL/6 mice has been introduced in the BALB/c background shows high susceptibility to malarial infection. [provided by MGI curators] |
