Primary Identifier | MGI:1914216 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 66966 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables tRNA dimethylallyltransferase activity. Involved in tRNA modification. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 35. Orthologous to human TRIT1 (tRNA isopentenyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show normal blastocyst formation but exhibit embryonic lethality prior to organogenesis with no morphological primitive node or head folds present.
