| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; intracellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; limb mesenchyme; and skeleton. Orthologous to human FOXA3 (forkhead box A3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit reduced expression of several liver-specific and liver-enriched genes. Homozygous mice exhibit abnormal glucose homeostasis and reduced male fertility with abnormal spermatogeneis. Mice remodel their fat tissues on high fat diets, store less fat, and burn more energy as they age. Mutant mice live significantly longer than controls. [provided by MGI curators] |
