Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable 5'-3' DNA helicase activity and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within reciprocal meiotic recombination; seminiferous tubule development; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nuclear membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of BRCA1-B complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain and cochlea. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi anemia complementation group J; breast cancer; colorectal cancer; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human BRIP1 (BRCA1 interacting helicase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit gonadal atrophy, subfertility, germ cell attrition, epithelial tumor predisposition, increased cellular sensitivity to interstrand crosslink-inducing agents, hypersensitivity to replication inhibitors, and predisposition to lymphoma.
