Primary Identifier | MGI:106016 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 20462 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in regulation of RNA splicing. Acts upstream of or within cerebral cortex regionalization; embryonic brain development; and positive regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nuclear inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; central nervous system ganglion; extraembryonic component; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Orthologous to human TRA2B (transformer 2 beta homolog). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced embryo size and early embryonic lethality associated with deficient vasculogenesis and abnormal allantois morphology.
