Primary Identifier | MGI:108064 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 20437 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including disordered domain specific binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in canonical Wnt signaling pathway and proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male meiosis I; regulation of growth; and spermatogenesis. Part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Orthologous to human SIAH1 (siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit retarded postnatal growth, and high preweaning and postweaning mortality. Surviving females are subfertile, having few, if any, offspring, while males are sterile due to a block at meiotic metaphase I. [provided by MGI curators] |
