Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 19357 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and lncRNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle and negative regulation of mitotic metaphase/anaphase transition. Acts upstream of or within chromatin looping. Located in chromosome, centromeric region and condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of chromatin and cohesin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cornelia de Lange syndrome 4; endometrial cancer; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RAD21 (RAD21 cohesin complex component). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit prenatal lethality, reduced male fertility, and produce oocytes that fail to maintain sister chromatids in the first mitosis following fertilization.
