Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including 5'-3' DNA helicase activity; ATP-dependent activity, acting on RNA; and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA duplex unwinding and establishment of sister chromatid cohesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and DNA replication. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton; midbody; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of Ctf18 RFC-like complex and chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; extraembryonic component; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Warsaw breakage syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including DDX11 (DEAD/H-box helicase 11). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit lethality before E11.5 with growth retardation, failure of chorioallantoic fusion, poor placental labyrinth development, and embryonic cell physiology.
