Primary Identifier | MGI:104643 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 18567 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; positive regulation of hematopoietic stem cell proliferation; and regulation of hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in cranial ganglion; cranial nerve; and dorsal root ganglion. Orthologous to human PDCD2 (programmed cell death 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display embryonic lethality before implantation with most arresting before the blastocyst satge.
