Primary Identifier | MGI:97054 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 17454 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 5'-3' RNA helicase activity and RNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of neuron projection arborization and transposable element silencing. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in brain; gut; sensory organ; testis; and turbinate bone primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human MOV10 (Mov10 RNA helicase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout is embryonic lethal. Heterozygous knockout leads to reduced dendritic branching of neurons, which affects anxiety- and/or activity-related behavior.
