| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of chromatin. Predicted to be involved in heterochromatin formation. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 8-cell stage embryo; blastocyst-stage conceptus; cerebral cortex; metanephros; and ventricular layer. Orthologous to human H2AZ2 (H2A.Z variant histone 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele of H2az1 and H2az2 activated in intestinal cells exhibit reduced growth and crypt dysfunction. [provided by MGI curators] |
