Primary Identifier | MGI:1298379 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 17184 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and miRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst formation; heart valve development; and ventricular septum development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel layer; branchial arch; heart; lung; and telencephalon. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 21. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 21. Orthologous to human MATR3 (matrin 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene-trapped allele are early embryonic lethal. Heterozygotes show congenital heart defects including abnormal heart apex morphology, subaortic ventricular septal defects, double-outlet right ventricle, bicuspid aortic valve, aorta coarctation, and patent ductus arteriosus.
