Primary Identifier | MGI:1915789 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 68539 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable voltage-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Acts upstream of or within intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator. Predicted to be located in nuclear membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; retina; and secondary oocyte. Orthologous to human TMEM109 (transmembrane protein 109). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, overtly normal and exhibit normal thymocyte maturation; however, mutant thymocytes are less sensitive to DNA damage caused by gamma-irradiation.
