Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 12648 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Acts upstream of or within chromatin remodeling. Predicted to be located in chromatin and cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in early conceptus and primary oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in castration-resistant prostate carcinoma and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human CHD1 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit complete embryonic lethality associated with arrest of epiblast development due to increased apoptosis and cell cycle defects, abnormal rostral-caudal axis patterning, and failure to gastrulate.
