Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 67031 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity; protein sequestering activity; and telomeric DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of mRNA cis splicing, via spliceosome. Located in neuron projection. Is expressed in central nervous system. Orthologous to human UPF3A (UPF3A regulator of nonsense mediated mRNA decay). PHENOTYPE: The gene product protects against mRNA transcript degradation. Homozygous constitutive KO is embryonic lethal. Homozygous conditional KO in testes leads to reduced male fertility.
