Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 234311 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in lens. Orthologous to human DDX60 (DExD/H-box helicase 60). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal immunity to several viruses (IAV, EMCV, SINV) but increased susceptibility to VSV infection. [provided by MGI curators] |
