Primary Identifier | MGI:2156864 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 68479 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in stem cell differentiation. Located in nuclear matrix and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; maxillary process; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PHF5A (PHD finger protein 5A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption may exhibit embryonic lethality at E6. Mice with loss of expression in B cells show defective early B cell development.
