Primary Identifier | MGI:3647482 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 243866 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein dimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of meiosis; cellular response to retinoic acid; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human MEIOSIN (meiosis initiator). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects meiosis during spermatogenesis and oocytogenesis and results in male and female sterility. [provided by MGI curators] |
