Primary Identifier | MGI:102956 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 12572 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) Enables protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein stabilization; regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; and transcription initiation at RNA polymerase II promoter. Located in male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including future hindbrain and telencephalon. Orthologous to human CDK7 (cyclin dependent kinase 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for null allele exhibit abnormal trophoblast layer morphology, abnormal inner cell mass apoptosis, and complete embryonic lethality during peri-implantation stages. Homoyzgous null MEFs display absent fibroblast proliferation. [provided by MGI curators] |
