Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA cap trimethylguanosine synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in 7-methylguanosine cap hypermethylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TGS1 (trimethylguanosine synthase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display complete lethality around implantation with embryonic growth arrest, impaired hatching from the zona pellucida, and increased apoptosis. Null MEFs display G2 arrest. [provided by MGI curators] |
