Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 21974 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA topoisomerase type II (double strand cut, ATP-hydrolyzing) activity. Involved in B cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis; forebrain development; and neuron migration. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human TOP2B (DNA topoisomerase II beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit abnormal innervation. Offspring die shortly after birth due to respiratory failure. Conditional KO in the retina results in postnatal retinal degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
