Primary Identifier | MGI:1916296 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 69046 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding activity. Predicted to be involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and protein maturation by iron-sulfur cluster transfer. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 5. Orthologous to human ISCA1 (iron-sulfur cluster assembly 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete embryonic lethality by E9.5.
