Primary Identifier | MGI:1925559 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 78309 |
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 binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization; protein ubiquitination; and regulation of mitotic nuclear division. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hemolymphoid system gland; muscle tissue; retina nuclear layer; and testis. Orthologous to human CUL9 (cullin 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased body weight, increased incidence of tumors, and decreased cellular sensitivity to radiation-induced apoptosis.
