Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 69587 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone H2AK119 ubiquitin ligase activity. Involved in random inactivation of X chromosome. Part of PcG protein complex. Colocalizes with X chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; limb; otocyst; and urinary system. Orthologous to human PCGF3 (polycomb group ring finger 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption exhibit limb defects and spleen agenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
