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; bile acid binding activity; and nuclear retinoid X receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cytokine production; regulation of signal transduction; and response to bacterium. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bile acid metabolic process; negative regulation of very-low-density lipoprotein particle remodeling; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex; euchromatin; and receptor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in extrahepatic cholestasis; hepatocellular carcinoma; and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 5. Orthologous to human NR1H4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for knock-out alleles exhibit increased bile salts and abnormal liver morphology and physiology. Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele also exhibit abnormal lipid homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
