Primary Identifier | MGI:3605986 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 623474 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA translocase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and response to ionizing radiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Orthologous to human RAD54B (RAD54 homolog B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have an increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation and other agents of DNA damage but outherwise have a normal phenotype.
