Primary Identifier | MGI:2384756 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 192285 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within suckling behavior. Predicted to be part of DNA repair complex and histone deacetylase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranium; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human PHF21A (PHD finger protein 21A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neonatal lethality and insufficient milk-sucking behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
