Primary Identifier | MGI:1097691 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 15182 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; Krueppel-associated box domain binding activity; and hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides. Involved in several processes, including circadian regulation of gene expression; eyelid development in camera-type eye; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to trichostatin A; nervous system development; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in nucleus and replication fork. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription repressor complex and heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in stomach cancer. Orthologous to human HDAC2 (histone deacetylase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic and postnatal lethality accompanied with a transient decrease in body size and increase in heart size and cardiomyocyte proliferation that is overcome by 2 months of age in surviving mice.
