MMS22L

Methyl methanesulfonate-sensitivity protein 22-like also known as MMS22-like, DNA repair protein is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MMS22L is_associated_with::gene.

Model organisms
is_associated_with::Model organisms have been used in the study of MMS22L function. A conditional is_associated_with::knockout mouse line, called Mms22ltm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi was generated as part of the is_associated_with::International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.

Male and female animals underwent a standardized is_associated_with::phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Twenty six tests were carried out on is_associated_with::mutant mice and two significant abnormalities were observed. No is_associated_with::homozygous is_associated_with::mutant embryos were identified during gestation, and therefore none survived until is_associated_with::weaning. The remaining tests were carried out on is_associated_with::heterozygous mutant adult mice; no additional significant abnormalities were observed in these animals.
