Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 94062 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 9. Orthologous to human MRPL3 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L3). 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, abnormal mitochondrial morphology and physiology, and complete embryonic lethality by E9.5.
