Primary Identifier | MGI:99960 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 14030 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ewing sarcoma. Orthologous to human EWSR1 (EWS RNA binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit postnatal lethality, defective pre-B cell development, apoptosis of gametes and arrest in gamete maturation due to reduced meiotic recombination leading to infertility, kyphosis, lymphopenia, muscular atrophy, and hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation.
