Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 66423 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable histone binding activity. Involved in muscle organ development. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst hatching. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in early conceptus and secondary oocyte. Orthologous to human COPRS (coordinator of PRMT5 and differentiation stimulator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced retroperitoneal white adipose tissue with fewer and larger adipocytes. In vitro adipogenic conversion of embryoid bodies and primary embryonic fibroblasts is markedly delayed. [provided by MGI curators] |
