Primary Identifier | MGI:1927468 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 56045 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables dGTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway; protein homotetramerization; and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm; site of double-strand break; and tetraspanin-enriched microdomain. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in left lung; right lung; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome; Chilblain lupus; acute myeloid leukemia; hepatitis B; and hepatitis C. Orthologous to human SAMHD1 (SAM and HD domain containing deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased susceptibility to infection with pseudotyped HIV-1. [provided by MGI curators] |
