Primary Identifier | MGI:2676458 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 329581 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity involved in apoptotic process and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within lens development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; centrosome; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in eye; lens; lens fiber; and lens vesicle. Orthologous to human BIRC7 (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal retinal morphology and function. [provided by MGI curators] |
