Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 23950 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chorion development; labyrinthine layer development; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1. Orthologous to human DNAJB6 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants died at mid-gestation due to a failure of chorioallantoic fusion at embryonic day 8.5, and thus preventing the formation of a mature placenta.
