Disease relevance of Nop60B

 

High impact information on Nop60B

 

Biological context of Nop60B

 

Anatomical context of Nop60B

  • Nop60B RNA is found at high levels in nurse cells and in the oocyte, and is present throughout development [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nop60B

  • While P-element induced total loss-of-function mutations cause lethality, mfl partial loss-of-function mutations cause pleiotropic defects, such as extreme reduction of body size, developmental delay, hatched abdominal cuticle, and reduced female fertility [2].
