Primary Identifier | MGI:1917167 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 69917 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA polymerase binding activity and G-rich strand telomeric DNA binding activity. Involved in DNA repair and positive regulation of telomere capping. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human NABP2 (nucleic acid binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit complete perinatal lethality, fetal growth retardation, abnormal limb development, abnormal cranium morphology, small rib cage, thin and porous bones, cleft palate, oligodactyly, increased apoptosis at E12.5 and increased genomic instability.
