Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within chromatin remodeling; chromosome segregation; and protein localization to chromosome, centromeric region. Located in chromosome, centromeric region. Part of CENP-A recruiting complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MIS18A (MIS18 kinetochore protein A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality between implantation and placentation, reduced growth of the inner cell mass and degeneration, increased apoptosis, decreased DNA methylation, and abnormal mitosis.
