Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables translation initiation factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within translation. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex, eIF3m. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; metanephros; thymus primordium; and upper jaw tooth. Orthologous to human EIF3M (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit M). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit embryonic lethality. Mice heterozygous for this allele exhibit decreased body weight and altered organ weights. [provided by MGI curators] |
