Primary Identifier | MGI:1344380 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 107932 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and terminal button organization. Located in nucleus. Part of NuRD complex and protein-DNA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Used to study left ventricular noncompaction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sifrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome; colorectal cancer (multiple); lung cancer (multiple); and lymphoma. Orthologous to human CHD4 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit embryonic lethality between E3.5 and E4.5, absent blastocoele failure of trophectoderm function and increased apoptosis in blastocysts.
