Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cytokine binding activity and cytokine receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within immunoglobulin mediated immune response; negative regulation of immunoglobulin production; and negative regulation of mast cell degranulation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; lung; smooth muscle tissue; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.
