| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and R-SMAD binding activity. Involved in several processes, including melanocyte migration; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neural crest cell migration; and positive regulation of axonogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study Mowat-Wilson syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease and Mowat-Wilson syndrome. Orthologous to human ZEB2 (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants exhibit a variety of defects at embryonic day 8.5 and die between embryonic days 9.5 and 10.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
