Primary Identifier | MGI:1926273 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 56282 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial transcription; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gonad; heart; liver; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 45. Orthologous to human MRPL12 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display embryonic lethality prior to organogenesis. Heterozygous null mice display enlarged lymph nodes and kidney abnormalities. Mice with conditional loss of expression display mitochondrial abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
