Primary Identifier | MGI:104297 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 664883 |
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 and sequence-specific mRNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Acts upstream of or within mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and regulation of RNA metabolic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human NOVA1 (NOVA alternative splicing regulator 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are born small, develop motor dysfunction associated with neuron apoptosis, and die within 10 days of birth. [provided by MGI curators] |
