| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryo development; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in cytoplasm and pronucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease. Orthologous to human HSF1 (heat shock transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Inactivation of this gene results in female infertility. Additional abnormalities observed in one line of targeted mice include placental defects, growth retardation, loss of the classical heat shock response, and impaired immune response.
