Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables single-stranded DNA binding activity. Contributes to DNA helicase activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA unwinding involved in DNA replication; cell population proliferation; and cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in nucleus. Part of MCM complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human MCM7 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit prenatal lethality. Mice heterozygous for this allele exhibit increased micronulei-containing red blood cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
