Primary Identifier | MGI:98423 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 20823 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including IRES-dependent viral translational initiation; RNA metabolic process; and protein localization to cytoplasmic stress granule. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; sensory organ; and spleen. Orthologous to human SSB (small RNA binding exonuclease protection factor La). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene die as embryos, possible before implantation.
