| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 19317 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including myofibroblast contraction; regulation of glial cell differentiation; and regulation of mRNA metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process; spermatid development; and vasculature development. Is active in cytoplasm; nucleus; and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; craniocervical region bone; reproductive system; sensory organ; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human QKI (QKI, KH domain containing RNA binding). PHENOTYPE: Knock-out mice die in utero with defects in embryo turning, blood vessel, smooth muscle, cardiac and neural tube development. Homozygotes for a spontaneous allele are viable but show myelin, spermatogenic and behavioral defects, hind leg tremors and seizures. Most ENU-induced mutants die in utero.
