Primary Identifier | MGI:1919214 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 108888 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrion organization. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; femur; hemolymphoid system; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Harel-Yoon syndrome and neonatal lethal pontocerebellar hypoplasia, hypotonia, and respiratory insufficiency syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including ATAD3A (ATPase family AAA domain containing 3A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele die around E7.5 exhibiting growth retardation, failure to gastrulate, and impaired development of the trophoblast lineage immediately after implantation. Conditional homozygous KO in skeletal muscle causes progressive myopathy as a result of abnormal mitochondrial morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
