MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. This protein combines with a high-affinity converter subunit, gp130, to form a receptor complex that mediates the action of the leukemia inhibitory factor, a polyfunctional cytokine that is involved in cellular differentiation, proliferation and survival in the adult and the embryo. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 2, a disease belonging to the group of the bent-bone dysplasias. A translocation that involves the promoter of this gene, t(5;8)(p13;q12) with the pleiomorphic adenoma gene 1, is associated with salivary gland pleiomorphic adenoma, a common type of benign epithelial tumor of the salivary gland. Multiple splice variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations die as neonates with reduced numbers of facial and spinal motor neurons, neurons of the nucleus ambiguus, and astrocytes. Mutants also show impaired placentation, severe osteopenia, and low hepatic glycogen stores. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation
DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to T transversion at position 2472 of the Lifr transcript in exon 20 of 23 total exons. The mutated nucleotide causes a histidine to leucine substitution at amino acid 803 of the encoded protein.  The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
 
Protein Function and Prediction
The Lifr gene encodes a 1092 amino acid receptor that transduces signals upon binding to leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF).  A soluble form inhibits the biological activity of LIF by blocking its binding to receptors on target cells. LIFR can form a heterodimer with the beta subunit of the interleukin 6 (IL6) receptor, and contains six fibronectin type III domains and a Janus kinase (JAK) interacting box 1 motif (Uniprot P42703 ). Mice homozygous for targeted null mutations die as neonates with reduced numbers of facial and spinal motor neurons, neurons of the nucleus ambiguus, and astrocytes. Mutants also show impaired placentation, severe osteopenia, and low hepatic glycogen stores.
 
The H803L change occurs in the extracellular region in the sixth fibronectin type III domain, and is predicted to be probably damaging by the PolyPhen program.
