Gene Expression + Phenotype

Homozygous disruption of this gene leads to reduced CD8+ T cell number and altered response to viral infection and may cause alterations in cytokine levels, CD4+ cell subset homeostasis, blood vessel healing, DNA repair, and susceptibility to induced lymphomas, arthritis and autoimmune encephalitis.
