Primary Identifier | MGI:1916205 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 68955 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mRNA processing; nervous system development; and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Acts upstream of or within sensory perception of sound. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; cochlear ganglion; and inner ear. Orthologous to human SRRM4 (serine/arginine repetitive matrix 4). PHENOTYPE: Most homozygous null mice die neonatally with respiratory defects while survivors show tremors, head tilt, circling, premature neurogenesis, altered neurite outgrowth, cortical layering and axon guidance. Homozygotes for a spontaneous deletion show inner ear hair cell, balance and hearing defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
