Primary Identifier | MGI:2684866 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 237890 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA endonuclease activity and ribosome binding activity. Involved in mRNA catabolic process and rRNA catabolic process. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in platelet-type bleeding disorder 20. Orthologous to human SLFN14 (schlafen family member 14). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a K208N mutation do not survive to weaning. Heterozygotes show microcytic erythrocytosis, hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly and abnormal thrombus formation. [provided by MGI curators] |
