Primary Identifier | MGI:3040695 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 233826 |
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. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; mesoderm development; and post-anal tail morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of DNA repair complex. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi anemia complementation group N; female breast cancer; hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human PALB2 (partner and localizer of BRCA2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display embryonic lethality with impaired inner cell mass proliferation, impaired gastrulation, absence of the amnion, somites and tail bud, and general improper organogenesis.
