Primary Identifier | MGI:1920018 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 235559 |
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 identical protein binding activity; phosphorylation-dependent protein binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including broken chromosome clustering; double-strand break repair; and mitotic G2/M transition checkpoint. Predicted to act upstream of or within reciprocal meiotic recombination. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; embryo; and metanephros. Orthologous to human TOPBP1 (DNA topoisomerase II binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele die around implantation due to embryonic growth arrest, increased apoptosis, and decreased cell proliferation. [provided by MGI curators] |
