Primary Identifier | MGI:1919140 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 71890 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable JUN kinase binding activity and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA repair; regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and spindle. Predicted to be part of anaphase-promoting complex and zeta DNA polymerase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ganglia; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi anemia complementation group V. Orthologous to human MAD2L2 (mitotic arrest deficient 2 like 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous disruption of this gene causes partial lethality between E13.5 and weaning, reduced body size, small testes and ovaries, infertility, and abnormal primordial germ cell apoptosis. Homozygotes for a null allele show increased neuroblast apoptosis and accumulation of double strand breaks. [provided by MGI curators] |
