Primary Identifier | MGI:1922717 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 75467 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity and histone binding activity. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on epigenetic programing of male pronucleus. Acts upstream of or within pyrimidine-containing compound catabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human STPG4 (sperm-tail PG-rich repeat containing 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable and exhibit normal male fertility. Mice homozygous for a different null allele are viable, fertile and grossly normal but show abnormal active DNA demethylation of the paternal genome. [provided by MGI curators] |
