Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 19366 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP-dependent DNA/DNA annealing activity and 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 located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; incisor; metencephalon rest of alar plate marginal layer; submandibular gland primordium; and thymus primordium. Used to study sclerocornea. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; disease of cellular proliferation; non-Hodgkin lymphoma; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RAD54L (RAD54 like). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are sensitive to DNA crosslinking agents and to ionizing radiation and show abnormal definitive hematopoiesis following X-ray treatment.
