Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables molecular adaptor activity. Involved in protein-containing complex assembly. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of protein ubiquitination; and type II pneumocyte differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex. Is expressed in several structures, including olfactory epithelium; orbito-sphenoid; submandibular gland primordium; thymus primordium; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 17. Orthologous to human AIMP2 (aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex interacting multifunctional protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele are born with no apparent phenotype but die within 2 days of birth of unknown causes. [provided by MGI curators] |
