Primary Identifier | MGI:1353471 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 104103 |
Mgi Type | antisense lncRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within autosome genomic imprinting and protein localization to chromatin. Located in nuclear chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; heart; and liver. Orthologous to human AIRN (antisense of IGF2R non-protein coding RNA). PHENOTYPE: Whereas heterozygous mice carrying a maternally inherited allele showed no overt phenotype, heterozygous mice carrying a paternally inherited allele and homozygous mice exhibited reduced body weight at birth.
