Primary Identifier | MGI:107799 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 13197 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration; and negative regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Acts upstream of or within centrosome cycle; negative regulation of protein kinase activity; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; heart; hindlimb; and sensory organ. Used to study systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human GADD45A (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible alpha). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show genomic instability, thymus hyperplasia, elevated radiation carcinogenesis, abnormal parturition and low frequency exencephaly. Females develop a lupus-like syndrome associated with high titers of autoantibodies, hematologic deficits, glomerulonephritis and premature death. [provided by MGI curators] |
