| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in lymphocyte differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of B cell activation. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver and biliary system. Used to study systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human IKZF3 (IKAROS family zinc finger 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants exhibit greatly reduced B cell populations in the peritoneum, marginal zone and recirculating bone marrow. Aging mutants express autoantibodies, frequently develop B cell lymphomas, and display symptoms characteristic of SLE. [provided by MGI curators] |
