| Primary Identifier | MGI:1924880 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 77630 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity; histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within corpus callosum morphogenesis; corticospinal tract morphogenesis; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; lung; retina; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy 10. Orthologous to human PRDM8 (PR/SET domain 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit premature termination of corticopsinal motor neuron axons, absent corpus callosum and hippocampal commissure, excessive scratching, skin lesions, and contraction of hindpaws resulting a handstand phenotype.
