Primary Identifier | MGI:1860191 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 54125 |
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 B cell differentiation and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in muscle tissue and retina. Orthologous to human POLM (DNA polymerase mu). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display an apparently normal phenotype. However, B cell maturation and proliferation is abnormal. [provided by MGI curators] |
