| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Contributes to nuclear receptor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of thyroid hormone mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle tissue development; regulation of branching involved in prostate gland morphogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital heart disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RXRA (retinoid X receptor alpha). PHENOTYPE: Null embryos have multiple organ defects and die of cardiac failure by E14.5. Gene ablation in liver, prostate, fat or epidermis tissue-specifically affects development, function and/or neoplasia. Hypomorphic mutants develop alopecia, progressively severe dermal cysts and late corneal opacity. [provided by MGI curators] |
