Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 269254 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and transcription termination site sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within circadian rhythm and termination of RNA polymerase II transcription. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including growth cone; intercellular bridge; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be active in nuclear body. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 and spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy 2. Orthologous to human SETX (senataxin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male infertility due to arrested male meiosis and reduced female fertility.
