Primary Identifier | MGI:2653627 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 242523 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within male mating behavior and ovarian follicle development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; gut; and liver. Orthologous to human DMRTA1 (DMRT like family A1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and fertile; however, females exhibit polyovular ovarian follicles while 25% of males display abnormal copulatory behavior toward other males.
