Primary Identifier | MGI:2441711 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 338359 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable helicase activity; nucleic acid binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitochondrial RNA 3'-end processing; mitochondrial RNA surveillance; and positive regulation of mitochondrial RNA catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; extraembryonic component; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human SUPV3L1 (Suv3 like RNA helicase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele exhibit embryonic lethality between E9.5 and E12.5. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality between E8.5 and 9.5. Mice heterozygous for this allele produce offspring with mitochondrial defects regardless of offspring genotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
