| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 14256 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in B cell differentiation; dendritic cell differentiation; and natural killer cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of leukocyte activation. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon carcinoma; glioblastoma; and high grade glioma. Orthologous to human FLT3LG (fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and healthy but exhibit reduced cellularity in a number of hematopoietic tissues, reduced numbers of myeloid and lymphoid progenitors in the bone marrow, and reduced numbers of dendritic cells and natural killer cells in the lymphoid organs.
