Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 66585 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome and U4/U6 x U5 tri-snRNP complex. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; liver; lung; metanephros; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human SNRNP40 (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein U5 subunit 40). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit lethality before weaning. Mice homozygous for a hypomorph exhibit reduced body weight, belly spotting, and immunodeficiency.
