Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 15312 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nucleotide-excision repair; positive regulation of NAD+ ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; and response to UV. Located in female germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human HMGN1 (high mobility group nucleosome binding domain 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display partial embryonic lethality, increased cellular sensitivity to ultraviolet- and gamma-irradiation, increased tumor incidence and metastatic potential, increased incidence of ionizing radiation-induced tumors, and abnormal cell cycle checkpoint function.
