Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 22608 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity; mRNA binding activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in epidermis development and negative regulation of cellular senescence. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to interleukin-7; negative regulation of striated muscle cell differentiation; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in P-body and nucleus. Part of histone pre-mRNA 3'end processing complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; facial prominence; gonad; and retina. Orthologous to human YBX1 (Y-box binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit embryonic and perinatal lethality and are severely growth retarded. Some mice exhibit craniofacial defects and respiratory failure. MEFs are more sensitive to oxidative stress resulting in premature senescence. [provided by MGI curators] |
