| 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 activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within angiogenesis and endothelial cell development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human VEZF1 (vascular endothelial zinc finger 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die at midgestation due to angiogenic remodeling defects and loss of vascular integrity leading to hemorrhaging in the head, heart and trunk. One fifth of heterozygous null embryos show lymphatic hypervascularization associated with hemorrhaging and edema in the jugular region. [provided by MGI curators] |
