| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adipose tissue development; brown fat cell differentiation; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EBF2 (EBF transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants show decreased viability, impaired olfactory neuron projection, and impaired mating, more so in male mice. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit narcolepsy-cataplexy syndrome and decreased orexinergic neurons. [provided by MGI curators] |
