| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 17210 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables BH3 domain binding activity. Involved in extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of oxidative stress-induced neuron intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; lung adenocarcinoma; lung cancer; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human MCL1 (MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation form blastocysts which die around the time of implantation and fail to hatch in vitro. Conditional mutants shows increased apoptosis of B and T lymphocytes and arrested lymphocyte development. [provided by MGI curators] |
