Primary Identifier | MGI:3036261 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 214616 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity; and preribosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including autophagosome maturation; mitotic spindle disassembly; and proteasomal protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and spindle. Predicted to be part of VCP-NPL4-UFD1 AAA ATPase complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness. Orthologous to human AFG2B (AFG2 AAA ATPase homolog B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show complete embryonic lethality prior to organogenesis. In vitro, blastocysts fail to hatch from the zona pellucida and die after 3 days in culture. [provided by MGI curators] |
