Primary Identifier | MGI:2443377 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 217012 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables Hsp90 protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within chaperone-mediated protein folding. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; lung; and soleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 43 and myofibrillar myopathy 11. Orthologous to human UNC45B (unc-45 myosin chaperone B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption exhibit embryonic lethality at E9 without placental abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
