Summary
Predicted to enable interleukin-7 receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; interleukin-7-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including lymph node development; lymphocyte homeostasis; and positive regulation of T cell differentiation in thymus. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon cancer; lung non-small cell carcinoma; primary immunodeficiency disease; severe combined immunodeficiency; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human IL7R (interleukin 7 receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
