Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 93871 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia. Orthologous to human BRWD1 (bromodomain and WD repeat domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous males and females are infertile. Spermiogenesis is impaired; males have low epididymal sperm concentration with low motility and abnormal sperm head morphology. Female oocytes commonly contain vacuoles and have low developmental competence to 2-cell and blastocyst stages. [provided by MGI curators] |
