Primary Identifier | MGI:1924001 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 109151 |
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 ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA. Predicted to be involved in DNA duplex unwinding; chromatin looping; and chromatin remodeling. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in bone; endochondral bone; and periosteum. Orthologous to human CHD9 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for null mutations are viable and fertile, although growing oocytes exhibit a less loosened chromatin structure. [provided by MGI curators] |
