| Primary Identifier | MGI:1196439 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 52609 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity; methylated histone binding activity; and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within sebaceous gland development. Located in heterochromatin and nucleus. Part of PRC1 complex. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; multiple myeloma; and myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human CBX7 (chromobox 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased body length and develop liver and lung adenomas and carcinomas while mutant embryonic fibriblasts show a higher growth rate and reduced susceptibility to senescence.
