Primary Identifier | MGI:1889208 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 54124 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; histone binding activity; and ubiquitin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within fibroblast proliferation; mitotic cell cycle phase transition; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex and cyclin-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; cerebral cortex; limb; and neural retina. Orthologous to human CKS1B (CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a reduced body size that persists through adulthood while heterozygous mice are intermediate in size. Mutant mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) proliferate poorly and senesce earlier than wild-type MEFs. [provided by MGI curators] |
