Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity and polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitotic G2 DNA damage checkpoint signaling; nuclear chromosome segregation; and positive regulation of DNA repair. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and chromatin organization. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be part of BRCA1-A complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ABRAXAS1 (abraxas 1, BRCA1 A complex subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased tumor incidence, genetic instability and premature lethality. Mice heterozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased tumor incidence and premature death. [provided by MGI curators] |
