Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 23885 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cullin family protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nuclear envelope and nuclear matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Orthologous to several human genes including GMCL1 (germ cell-less 1, spermatogenesis associated). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit impaired nuclear membrane integrity in liver, endocrine pancreas, and testis. Mutant males show reduced fertility with decreased chromatin condensation and morphologically abnormal sperm. [provided by MGI curators] |
