Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 30939 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within homologous chromosome segregation; mitotic sister chromatid cohesion; and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in axoneme. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; limb; mesonephric tubule of male; and testis. Orthologous to several human genes including PTTG1 (PTTG1 regulator of sister chromatid separation, securin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show testicular and splenic hypoplasia, thymic hyperplasia, thrombocytopenia, aberrant cell cycle progression, chromosome instability, premature centromere division, reduced female fertility, reduced pancreatic betacell mass and sexually-dimorphic diabetes.
