Primary Identifier | MGI:1923718 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 109113 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation; protein autoubiquitination; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in heterochromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ear; early conceptus; female reproductive system; and urinary system. Orthologous to human UHRF2 (ubiquitin like with PHD and ring finger domains 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO causes deregulated expression of neuron-related genes, reduced DNA methylation in the brain and impaired contextual conditioning and spatial memory.
