Primary Identifier | MGI:1921572 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 74322 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nuclear matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; limb; and retina. Orthologous to human CXXC1 (CXXC finger protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit peri-implantation lethality and failure to gastrulate. [provided by MGI curators] |
