Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 16815 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal cortex; central nervous system; genitourinary system; neural retinal epithelium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human LBX2 (ladybird homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and healthy with no gross developmental defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
