| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in lens development in camera-type eye; nervous system development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within locomotory behavior; neuron development; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and musculoskeletal system. Used to study Parkinson's disease and anterior segment dysgenesis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anterior segment dysgenesis; anterior segment dysgenesis 1; cataract; cataract 11 multiple types; and cataract 9 multiple types. Orthologous to human PITX3 (paired like homeodomain 3). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene cause variable defects in many aspects of ocular development and loss of a subset of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Observed phenotypes may include growth abnormalities, alterations in liver, lung, and bone function, and sex-specific neurobehavioral anomalies. [provided by MGI curators] |
