Primary Identifier | MGI:3525151 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 333473 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within nuclear-transcribed mRNA poly(A) tail shortening. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in extraembryonic component; forebrain; olfactory epithelium; and placenta. PHENOTYPE: Null mice show decreased neonatal survival rates but those that survive are viable and fertile. Iron and zinc levels are decreased in fetuses. Paternal imprinting occurs in heterozygous females. [provided by MGI curators] |
