Primary Identifier | MGI:3652571 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 664799 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in genomic imprinting. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in eye and nervous system. Orthologous to human CTCFL (CCCTC-binding factor like). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit small testes, delayed spermatid development, and increased male germ cell apoptosis without affecting fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
