Primary Identifier | MGI:99240 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 53817 |
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 protein binding activity; and RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including RNA metabolic process; positive regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in nuclear speck. Is expressed in embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human DDX39B (DExD-box helicase 39B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit complete preweaning lethality while mice heterozygous for the allele exhibit increased susceptibility to gamma radiation.
