Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing. Predicted to be located in centrosome and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of DNA replication factor A complex; Prp19 complex; and U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; oocyte; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer. Orthologous to human BCAS2 (BCAS2 pre-mRNA processing factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit complete lethality. Pups of dams homozygous for a conditional allele activated in oocytes exhibit lethality of pups associated with defects in DNA damage repair and DNA replication. [provided by MGI curators] |
