Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 15519 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables identical protein binding activity; nitric-oxide synthase regulator activity; and protein folding chaperone. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to heat; positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process; and protein folding. Located in several cellular components, including growth cone; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HSP90AA1 (heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit male sterility associated with arrested male meiosis and male germ cell apoptosis. Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption exhibit male sterility and small testis. [provided by MGI curators] |
