Primary Identifier | MGI:1346017 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 270166 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP binding activity and ATP hydrolysis activity. Predicted to be involved in ATP metabolic process and proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in erythropoietic protoporphyria. Orthologous to human CLPX (caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit X). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete lethality prior to organogenesis.
