Primary Identifier | MGI:104790 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12180 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chromatin remodeling; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; heart; maxillary process; and spleen. Orthologous to human SMYD1 (SET and MYND domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality at E10.5. Mutant embryos exhibit an enlarged heart and developmental abnormalities of the right ventricle. [provided by MGI curators] |
