Primary Identifier | MGI:1349427 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 26909 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within humoral immune response mediated by circulating immunoglobulin; isotype switching; and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes. Predicted to be located in nuclear body and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb segment; and nose. Orthologous to human EXO1 (exonuclease 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in reduced life span, lymphoma development, and male/female sterilty due to defective meiosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
