Primary Identifier | MGI:2443733 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 243612 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heat shock protein binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in odontogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blood; brain; heart; and liver. Used to study dentin dysplasia. Orthologous to human SSUH2 (ssu-2 homolog). PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous or homozygous for a knock-in allele exhibit abnormal tooth morphology, narrowed pulp cavity, increased dentin thickness, abnormal tooth attrition and collagenous attachment to the gum.
