Primary Identifier | MGI:1341890 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 22763 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; submandibular gland primordium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human ZFR (zinc finger RNA binding protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit impaired gastrulation, with increased apoptosis and a low mitotic index, and die between embryonic days 8 and 9.
