Primary Identifier | MGI:2146156 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 105988 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cysteine-type peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within homologous chromosome segregation; meiotic spindle organization; and mitotic sister chromatid segregation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Used to study breast cancer. Orthologous to human ESPL1 (extra spindle pole bodies like 1, separase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality before somite formation. Conditional null mice display abnormal mitosis during liver regeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
