Primary Identifier | MGI:3826586 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 100503872 |
Mgi Type | lncRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Involved in hindlimb morphogenesis and post-anal tail morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within heterochromatin formation and skeletal system development. Located in chromosome. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; hindlimb bud; limb; tail; and trunk. Orthologous to human HOTAIR (HOX transcript antisense RNA). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene results in caudal vertebral transformation. Additional phenotypes may include lumbar vertebral transformation and structural malformations of the metacarpal-carpal bones, tail and hind limbs. [provided by MGI curators] |
