Primary Identifier | MGI:1915842 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 68592 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gastrulation; in utero embryonic development; and mitotic G2 DNA damage checkpoint signaling. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; and embryo. Orthologous to human SYF2 (SYF2 pre-mRNA splicing factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele fail to undergo normal gastrulation and exhibit complete embryonic lethality, severely impaired embryonic development, and abnormal cell cycle checkpoint function.
