| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within mitotic sister chromatid segregation and mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint signaling. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; nucleus; and spindle pole. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human MAD2L1 (mitotic arrest deficient 2 like 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null embryos die at E6.5-7.5. At E5.5, embryonic cells assemble spindles and undergo mitosis but do not arrest in response to microtubule depolymerization. At E6.5, loss of a functional spindle assembly ckeckpoint results in widespread chromosome missegregation and apoptosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
