Primary Identifier | MGI:1929871 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 57321 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables telomeric DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and telomere maintenance via telomere lengthening. Located in chromosome, telomeric region; cytoplasm; and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human TERF2IP (TERF2 interacting protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are fertile. Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele die prior to E6.5 while heterozygous mice are resistant to LPS-induced mortality. [provided by MGI curators] |
