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 5'-3' DNA helicase activity; ATP-dependent activity, acting on RNA; and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to bleomycin; chromosome organization; and positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including extracellular exosome; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of Ctf18 RFC-like complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; extraembryonic component; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Warsaw breakage syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including DDX11 (DEAD/H-box helicase 11). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit lethality before E11.5 with growth retardation, failure of chorioallantoic fusion, poor placental labyrinth development, and embryonic cell physiology.
