Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 231724 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in DNA integrity checkpoint signaling; DNA repair; and cellular response to ionizing radiation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of checkpoint clamp complex. Is expressed in embryo and future brain. Orthologous to human RAD9B (RAD9 checkpoint clamp component B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality, decreased forebrain and somite cell proliferation, and increased cellular sensitivity to gamma irradiation and mitomycin C. Mice heterozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced embryonic, fetal, and early postnatal survival. [provided by MGI curators] |
