Primary Identifier | MGI:2156057 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 140917 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 5'-3' exonuclease activity. Involved in protection from non-homologous end joining at telomere; telomeric 3' overhang formation; and telomeric loop formation. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dyskeratosis congenita. Orthologous to human DCLRE1B (DNA cross-link repair 1B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced embryo size and neonatal lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
