| Primary Identifier | MGI:99480 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 12606 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fat cell differentiation; positive regulation of macrophage activation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; early conceptus; genitourinary system; integumental system; and lung. Used to study acute myeloid leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human CEBPA (CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit defects of the liver, neutrophils, lung, and brown fat, resulting in impaired glycogen storage and lipid accumulation, hypoglycemia, reduced uncoupling protein, and neonatal lethality.
