Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 60315 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 3'-5'-RNA exonuclease activity. Acts upstream of or within locomotory exploration behavior. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; hemolymphoid system gland; and male reproductive gland or organ. Orthologous to human MYG1 (MYG1 exonuclease). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display no gross abnormalities but altered sex-dependent anxiety-like behaviors in different tests. [provided by MGI curators] |
