Primary Identifier | MGI:99180 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 22695 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 14-3-3 protein binding activity; RNA polymerase binding activity; and mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of polynucleotide adenylyltransferase activity; p38MAPK cascade; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within intracellular signal transduction; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of RNA metabolic process. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of CCR4-NOT complex and ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human ZFP36 (ZFP36 ring finger protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes are normal at birth but soon develop myeloid hyperplasia, cachexia, patchy alopecia, dermatitis, arthritis, loss of adiposity, conjunctivitis, glomerular mesangial thickening and autoimmunity, with variable severity. All aspects of the syndrome are normalized by TNF antibody treatment. [provided by MGI curators] |
