| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including catalytic activity, acting on DNA; damaged DNA binding activity; and microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including base-excision repair, gap-filling; immune system development; and intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and spindle microtubule. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in early conceptus; hemolymphoid system; muscle tissue; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human POLB (DNA polymerase beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for one knock-out allele die from E10.5 to birth and those for another one exhibit embryonic growth retardation, abnormal neurogenesis, and neonatal lethality due to respiratory failure. Hypomorphic allele mice develop systemic lupus erythematosus-like phentoypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
