Primary Identifier | MGI:2180853 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 246729 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables double-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of innate immune response. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and ribosome. Predicted to be active in cytosol; membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to colocalize with cytoplasm. Is expressed in ovary. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human OAS1 (2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1). PHENOTYPE: Female mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
