| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 19712 |
| 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 transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; negative regulation of neurogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 27; gingival fibromatosis 5; and nephroblastoma. Orthologous to human REST (RE1 silencing transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Targeted mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality preceded by growth retardation and abnormal cellular organization in several tissues, including the hindbrain and somites. Mice with conditional deletions exhibit increased apoptosis in affected cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
