Primary Identifier | MGI:1919890 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 72640 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be located in P-body and cytosol. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MEX3A (mex-3 RNA binding family member A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit partial prenatal and postnatal lethality, with 60% of mice showing weight loss, dehydration and lethargy, impaired intestinal crypt development and altered intestinal crypt-villus architecture.
