Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 13831 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chromatin-protein adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; regulation of cell cycle; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic; positive regulation of striated muscle cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nuclear body; nuclear membrane; and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex; nucleosome; and piccolo histone acetyltransferase complex. Predicted to be active in site of double-strand break. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel endothelium; brain; heart; retina; and skeletal muscle. Orthologous to human EPC1 (enhancer of polycomb homolog 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele die prior to P10 (no time point given) and heterozygous mice exhibit impaired skeletal muscle differentiation. [provided by MGI curators] |
