Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 69821 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable rRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mitochondrial transcription; protein targeting to mitochondrion; and ribosome assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; limb bud; nervous system; sensory organ; and tongue. Orthologous to human MTERF4 (mitochondrial transcription termination factor 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit complete embryonic lethality associated with decreased embryo size, lack of heart, and absence of optic discs. [provided by MGI curators] |
