Primary Identifier | MGI:1917819 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 225348 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within regulation of axon extension and retina homeostasis. Predicted to be part of Pwp2p-containing subcomplex of 90S preribosome and small-subunit processome. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; lung; submandibular gland primordium; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glaucoma and primary open angle glaucoma. Orthologous to human WDR36 (WD repeat domain 36). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene leads to complete embryonic lethality before implantation. In culture, homozygous mutant embryos fail to reach the blastocyst stage.
