Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in tRNA-type intron splice site recognition and cleavage. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of tRNA-intron endonuclease complex. Is expressed in cerebellum; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2A; pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 4; and pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 5. Orthologous to human TSEN54 (tRNA splicing endonuclease subunit 54). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout is early embryonic lethal. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show complete embryonic lethality prior to organogenesis. In vitro, embryos fail to hatch from the zona pellucida and die after 3 days in culture.
