Primary Identifier | MGI:1916966 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 69716 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including double-strand break repair; meiosis I; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within germ cell development and meiosis I. Located in male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome 3. Orthologous to human TRIP13 (thyroid hormone receptor interactor 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit postnatal lethality, infertility, reduced gonad size, tail defects and meiotic arrest of sperm and oocytes associated with unrepaired double strand breaks.
