| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity; damaged DNA binding activity; and guanine/thymine mispair binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and somatic diversification of immunoglobulins. Part of MutSalpha complex and chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; liver; lung; and oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome; colorectal carcinoma; endometrial cancer; hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 5; and mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Orthologous to human MSH6 (mutS homolog 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit premature death and are predisposed to tumor formation. [provided by MGI curators] |
