Primary Identifier | MGI:2672859 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 276950 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA endonuclease activity. Involved in rRNA catabolic process and tRNA decay. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and site of DNA damage. Orthologous to several human genes including SLFN13 (schlafen family member 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels after EAE induction.
