Primary Identifier | MGI:1919156 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 268721 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of miRNA catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Part of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ZSWIM8 (zinc finger SWIM-type containing 8). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit perinatal lethality, cyanosis, respiratory distress, decreased fetal and neonatal size, a lung sacculation defect due to failed maturation of alveolar epithelial cells, and ventricular septal defects.
