Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 16881 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA ligase (ATP) activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication; double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining; and response to hydrogen peroxide. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inherited metabolic disorder and primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human LIG1 (DNA ligase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired fetal hematopoiesis, develop anemia, and die by E16.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
