Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 17116 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity; nucleotide binding activity; and nucleotidyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within camera-type eye development and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; limb bud; maxillary process; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MAB21L1 (mab-21 like 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in male infertility and eye developmental anomalies. Mutant eyes are small, absent of lens and iris, and display malformations of the retina.
