Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 216853 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA folding chaperone. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including RNA localization to Cajal body; positive regulation of double-strand break repair; and telomere organization. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear body; and site of double-strand break. Predicted to be part of telomerase holoenzyme complex. Predicted to be active in Cajal body. Is expressed in palatal shelf. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 3; colorectal cancer; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human WRAP53 (WD repeat containing antisense to TP53). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit defects in chorion formation and placentation, abnormal trophoblast layer morphology, and complete embryonic lethality during organogenesis.
