Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 56228 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within ERAD pathway; regulation of cytokine production; and spermatid development. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human UBE2J1 (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 J1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit partial postnatal lethality, decreased body size, and male infertility associated with defective spermiogenesis, teratozoospermia, and asthenozoospermia.
