Primary Identifier | MGI:2387179 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 214290 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables uridylyltransferase activity. Involved in RNA 3' uridylation; oocyte maturation; and polyuridylation-dependent mRNA catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; early conceptus; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human TUT7 (terminal uridylyl transferase 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for conditional alleles of Tut4 and Tut7 activated in oocytes exhibit female infertility due to abnormal female meiosis I. [provided by MGI curators] |
