Chil3 chitinase-like 3 [Mus musculus (house mouse)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: Chil3provided by MGI
Official Full Name: chitinase-like 3provided by MGI
Primary source: MGI:MGI:1330860
See related: Ensembl:ENSMUSG00000040809 AllianceGenome:MGI:1330860
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: Ym1; ECF-L; Chi3l3
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is similar to bacterial chitinases but lacks chitinase activity. The encoded protein is thought to function as a lectin and may be involved in inflammation and allergy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
