Primary Identifier | MGI:1920185 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 72935 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta; defense response to virus; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Is expressed in hippocampus; pancreas; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myeloproliferative neoplasm. Orthologous to human DDX41 (DEAD-box helicase 41). PHENOTYPE: Constitutive homozygous knockout is embryonic lethal. Conditional homozygous KO in macrophages and DCs (dendritic cells) leads to a depressed immune response to viral infection. [provided by MGI curators] |
