Primary Identifier | MGI:3618700 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 723950 |
Mgi Type | miRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing; nervous system development; and positive regulation of exit from mitosis. Part of RISC complex. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; lung; metanephros; nervous system; and pancreas. Orthologous to human MIR124-2 (microRNA 124-2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable and fertile with normal brain weight, cortical thickness, and mossy fibers [provided by MGI curators] |
