| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Involved in regulation of chromatin organization. Acts upstream of or within cholangiocyte proliferation; hepatocyte proliferation; and meiotic cell cycle. Located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Crohn's disease; colorectal cancer; endocrine gland cancer (multiple); graft-versus-host disease; and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human MKI67 (marker of proliferation Ki-67). PHENOTYPE: Mice carrying a reporter allele show expression in actively dividing cells. Mice homozygous for an endonuclease-mediated hypomorphic allele are resistant to chemical induction of intestinal tumorigenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
