Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 77605 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of chromatin. Predicted to be involved in heterochromatin formation. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; metanephros; and ventricular layer. Orthologous to human H2AZ2 (H2A.Z variant histone 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele of H2az1 and H2az2 activated in intestinal cells exhibit reduced growth and crypt dysfunction. [provided by MGI curators] |
