Primary Identifier | MGI:1919276 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 72026 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; tRNA binding activity; and tRNA-5-taurinomethyluridine 2-sulfurtransferase. Predicted to be involved in tRNA wobble position uridine thiolation. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aminoglycoside-induced deafness; infantile liver failure syndrome; and transient infantile liver failure. Orthologous to human TRMU (tRNA mitochondrial 2-thiouridylase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO is embryonic lethal. Homozygous conditional KO in the liver affects mitochondrial function owing to impaired mt-tRNA modifications. [provided by MGI curators] |
