Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 15569 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; gut; nervous system; ovary; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ELAVL2 (ELAV like RNA binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit incomplete postnatal lethality, postnatal growth retardation, and female infertility associated with loss of oocytes shortly after birth and defective primordial follicle formation.
