Primary Identifier | MGI:1206586 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 104416 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including common myeloid progenitor cell proliferation; hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; and myeloid cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within macrophage homeostasis; regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of PR-DUB complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; decidua; gonad; mammary gland; and trophectoderm. Used to study myelodysplastic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal cell carcinoma; extrahepatic bile duct adenocarcinoma; and uveal melanoma. Orthologous to human BAP1 (BRCA1 associated deubiquitinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous deletion of this gene causes delayed embryonic growth and complete lethality during organogenesis. Systemic or hematopoietic-restricted deletion in adults recapitulates features of myelodysplastic syndrome. Heterozygotes show increased incidence of asbestos-induced malignant mesothelioma.
