Primary Identifier | MGI:1913894 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 231380 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables FAT10 activating enzyme activity and ubiquitin activating enzyme activity. Involved in protein ubiquitination and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dendritic spine development; learning; and limbic system development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and gonad. Orthologous to human UBA6 (ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit early embryonic lethality. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in neurons exhibit decreased weight, postnatal and premature lethality and altered social behavior and neuronal development.
