Primary Identifier | MGI:1890357 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 140486 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation. Acts upstream of or within neuronal stem cell population maintenance and pallium cell proliferation in forebrain. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; dendritic spine; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of CRD-mediated mRNA stability complex and ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; gonad; intestine; and limb. Orthologous to human IGF2BP1 (insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this locus results in increased neonatal lethality, growth retardation, and impaired intestinal development. Males exhibit increased anxiety-like response and decreased exploratory behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
