Primary Identifier | MGI:106067 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 14211 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of chromosome segregation and positive regulation of chromosome separation. Acts upstream of or within kinetochore organization; meiotic chromosome condensation; and meiotic chromosome segregation. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of condensin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human SMC2 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die embryonically.
