Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 14375 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of lymphocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of or within DNA metabolic process; positive regulation of neurogenesis; and response to ionizing radiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; gonad; and liver lobe. Orthologous to human XRCC6 (X-ray repair cross complementing 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neuron apoptosis, decreased body size, abnormal B and T cell morphology, increased incidence of tumorigenesis, and increased cellular sensitivity to irradiation.
