Primary Identifier | MGI:2146220 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 106052 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including common myeloid progenitor cell proliferation; protein destabilization; and regulation of DNA damage checkpoint. Part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including craniocervical region bone; esophagus; lung; pituitary gland; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FBXO4 (F-box protein 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous or heterozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased tumor incidence of lymphoblastic lineage and premature death. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele are indistinguishable from wild-type mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
