Primary Identifier | MGI:1913954 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 66704 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and regulation of translation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human RBM4B (RNA binding motif protein 4B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit small pancreatic islets and defects in glucose metabolism. [provided by MGI curators] |
