Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA repair. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nose. Orthologous to human REV3L (REV3 like, DNA directed polymerase zeta catalytic subunit). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mice exhibit complete embryonic lethality and abnormal embryonic tissue morphology with widespread degeneration and cell death. Mice carrying the amino acid substitution of phenylalanine for leucine at position 2610 display alterations in somatic hypermutation frequency and specificity. [provided by MGI curators] |
