| 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; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including glucose mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of gastrulation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; lung development; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endoderm; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FOXA2 (forkhead box A2). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for targeted null mutations fail to form a distinct node, lack a notochord, and die by embryonic day 10 or 11. Mutants also exhibit defects of somite and neural tube organization, and lack a floor plate and motor neurons. [provided by MGI curators] |
