Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA topoisomerase type I (single strand cut, ATP-independent) activity. Acts upstream of or within chromosome segregation. Located in condensed chromosome. Is expressed in liver. Orthologous to human TOP3B (DNA topoisomerase III beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice develop to maturity but die prematurely showing enlargement of lymphatic organs and glomerulonephritis. Intercrossing of mutant mice progressively results in infertility that is correlated to increased aneuploidy in germ cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
