Primary Identifier | MGI:109419 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 14084 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein domain specific binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors and regulation of cell adhesion. Located in nuclear envelope and ooplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human FAF1 (Fas associated factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous fail to develop beyond 2-cell stage. Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic gene trap allele exhibit decreased susceptibility to dopaminergic neuron neurotoxicity.
