Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 98386 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin-protein adaptor activity and delta14-sterol reductase activity. Involved in cholesterol biosynthetic process; neutrophil differentiation; and random inactivation of X chromosome. Located in nuclear membrane. Is active in nuclear lamina. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Used to study Pelger-Huet anomaly; ichthyosis vulgaris; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Greenberg dysplasia; Pelger-Huet anomaly; and primary biliary cholangitis. Orthologous to human LBR (lamin B receptor). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene result in abnormal skin and hair and impair growth. [provided by MGI curators] |
