Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 12021 |
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; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of protein export from nucleus; protein K6-linked ubiquitination; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and spleen. Used to study breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human BARD1 (BRCA1 associated RING domain 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene fail to develop past the egg cylinder stage. The phenotype is similar to that of mice with homozygous for disruptions in Brca1 or homozygous for disruptions in both Bard1 and Brca1. [provided by MGI curators] |
