Primary Identifier | MGI:2179723 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 192160 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within intracellular mRNA localization. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; immune system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CASC3 (CASC3 exon junction complex subunit). PHENOTYPE: Homozygosity for a null or hypomorphic allele causes embryonic and postnatal lethality, respectively. Compound heterozygous embryos are smaller and exhibit proportionately reduced brain size with fewer neurons and progenitors, but no apoptosis, largely due to developmental delay.
