| Primary Identifier | MGI:103199 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 17217 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables single-stranded DNA binding activity. Contributes to DNA helicase activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication. Part of MCM complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; future brain; limb; metanephros; and myocardium layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 54. Orthologous to human MCM4 (minichromosome maintenance complex component 4). PHENOTYPE: Disruption of this allele cause chromosomal instability as assessed by micronucleus levels in erythrocytes. Mice homozygous for a spontaneous allele exhibit early onset T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [provided by MGI curators] |
