Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 14266 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G-quadruplex RNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of RNA splicing. Acts upstream of or within learning or memory and negative regulation of gene expression. Located in nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; heart; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked intellectual developmental disorder 109. Orthologous to human AFF2 (ALF transcription elongation factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit impaired conditioned fear responses and enhanced long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. [provided by MGI curators] |
