| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Contributes to DNA binding activity. Involved in embryonic hemopoiesis; positive regulation of erythrocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; neurogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to human TAL1 (TAL bHLH transcription factor 1, erythroid differentiation factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous targeted null mutants show retarded growth, edema, lack yolk sac hematopoiesis and die at embryonic day 9.5-10.5. Conditional mutants show loss of megakaryocyte and erhythrocyte progenitors resulting in low hematocrit and platelet count. [provided by MGI curators] |
