FAM104A
Family with sequence similarity 104, member A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM104A gene.[1] The orthologous gene in mice is also known as D11Wsu99e.[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of FAM104A function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called D11Wsu99etm2a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[7][8] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[9][10][11]
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[5][12] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice, and a significant abnormality was observed in male homozygote's peripheral blood lymphocytes. Specifically, they displayed a decreased B cell number and a corresponding increase in granulocyte number.[5]
