| Primary Identifier | MGI:96205 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 15433 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male genitalia development; morphogenesis of an epithelium; and regulation of branching involved in prostate gland morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; hindgut; limb; limb bud; and tail. Used to study synpolydactyly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brachydactyly-syndactyly syndrome; clubfoot; cryptorchidism; and dysostosis (multiple). Orthologous to human HOXD13 (homeobox D13). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted and spontaneous mutations exhibit abnormalities of the axial skeleton, especially limbs, and of the male accessory organs, and agenesis of the preputial glands. Mutant males are sterile. [provided by MGI curators] |
