Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 66634 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including chromatin binding activity; mismatch repair complex binding activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to single-stranded DNA helicase activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; female gamete generation; and male gamete generation. Part of MCM8-MCM9 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; sensory organ; submandibular gland primordium; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency 10. Orthologous to human MCM8 (minichromosome maintenance 8 homologous recombination repair factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit female and male infertility associated with impaired ovarian development and arrested male meiosis, and impaired sensitivity to homologous recombination double-strand break repair.
