Primary Identifier | MGI:1921605 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 74355 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP hydrolysis activity and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within inactivation of paternal X chromosome by genomic imprinting. Located in Barr body. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 2. Orthologous to human SMCHD1 (structural maintenance of chromosomes flexible hinge domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Females homozygous for an ENU-induced allele die at midgestation showing placental defects and hypomethylation at X-linked genes that are normally subject to X-inactivation, whereas homozygous males are viable. Females homozygous for a gene trap allele die before E13.5, whereas males remain healthy. [provided by MGI curators] |
