| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable proteasome-activating activity. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst development. Part of proteasome accessory complex. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst-stage conceptus; cranial ganglion; early embryo; gonad; and liver lobe. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Orthologous to human PSMC4 (proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene die as embryos. Mice heterozygous for a knock-out allele and a conditional allele activated in motor neurons develop ALS-like symptoms. [provided by MGI curators] |
