Primary Identifier | MGI:1914491 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 67241 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA recombination; cellular senescence; and negative regulation by host of viral genome replication. Located in chromosome; mitotic spindle pole; and nucleus. Part of Smc5-Smc6 complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; embryo; retina; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human SMC6 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit poor embryonic development and embryonic lethality by E105. Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele exhibit decreased body weight and weight, decreased litter size and partial lethality. Mice homozygous for a point mutation exhibit a milder phenotype.
