Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 11792 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; NF-kappaB binding activity; and nuclease activity. Acts upstream of or within cell redox homeostasis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; autopod; early conceptus; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); breast cancer; female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); spina bifida; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human APEX1 (apurinic/apyrimidinic endodeoxyribonuclease 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality prior to E10 associated with abnormal embryogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
