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. Acts upstream of or within anterior head development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human DDX10 (DEAD-box helicase 10). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a spontaneous allele exhibit craniofacial defects, including decreased cranium length, cleft palate, and short snout, and show reduced body size, body weight, lean body mass, and bone mineral content. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show complete embryonic lethality before implantation. In vitro, embryos fail to hatch from the zona pellucida and die after 3 days in culture.
