Primary Identifier | MGI:2385891 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 230738 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA binding activity; RNA nuclease activity; and ribosome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression; negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in nucleus and rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex intermediate zone; cerebral cortex subventricular zone; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; and cortical plate. Used to study primary biliary cholangitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis B. Orthologous to human ZC3H12A (zinc finger CCCH-type containing 12A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, hyperimmunoglobulinemia, increased auto-antibodies, and defective IL6 post-transcriptional regulation.
