Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA damage response and regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; heterochromatin; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z. Orthologous to human MORC2 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
