Primary Identifier | MGI:1919665 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 72415 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within centriole-centriole cohesion. Located in kinetochore. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic atrial and intestinal dysrhythmia. Orthologous to human SGO1 (shugoshin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene-trapped allele show prenatal lethality. Heterozygotes display enhanced chromosome instability, as well as increased formation of aberrant crypt foci and accelerated development of colon tumors after exposure to azoxymethane.
