Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 433938 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within intramembranous ossification. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; limb long bone; palatal shelf; tarsus; and ventral grey horn. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial meningioma; meningioma; and myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human MN1 (MN1 proto-oncogene, transcriptional regulator). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die shortly after birth due to cleft palate. Development of several bones in the skull was abnormal with completely absent alisphenoid, squamosal, and vomer bones, hypoplastic basisphenoid, pterygoid, and presphenoid bones, and thinfrontal, parietal, and interparietal bones.
