Primary Identifier | MGI:3028576 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 208144 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable U3 snoRNA binding activity and helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in brain development; positive regulation of male gonad development; and ribosome biogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be part of small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal. Orthologous to human DHX37 (DEAH-box helicase 37). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show complete embryonic lethality before implantation. In vitro outgrowth assays show that embryos fail to hatch from the zona pellucida and die after 3 days in culture, never forming blastocysts. [provided by MGI curators] |
