| 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 and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process; positive regulation of miRNA transcription; and positive regulation of myelination. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol homeostasis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm; membrane; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid artery disease; diabetes mellitus (multiple); prostate cancer; sarcoma; and vascular dementia. Orthologous to human SREBF2 (sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display prenatal lethality. Mice homozygous for an ENU mutation display cataracts and persistent wounds of the skin. [provided by MGI curators] |
