Primary Identifier | MGI:98886 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 22185 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity. Involved in RNA splicing. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of Prp19 complex; U2-type spliceosomal complex; and U2AF complex. Predicted to be active in nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; liver lobe; lower urinary tract; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental delay, dysmorphic facies, and brain anomalies. Orthologous to human U2AF2 (U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show complete embryonic lethality prior to organogenesis. In vitro, blastocysts fail to hatch from the zona pellucida and die after 3 days in culture. [provided by MGI curators] |
