Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II intronic transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including outflow tract septum morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; embryonic organ morphogenesis; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; ear; embryo mesenchyme; and heart. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome; autism spectrum disorder; chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, distal; otitis media; and velocardiofacial syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including DiGeorge syndrome; congenital heart disease (multiple); hypoparathyroidism; sensorineural hearing loss; and velocardiofacial syndrome. Orthologous to human TBX1 (T-box transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display neonatal lethality, persistent truncus arteriosis, abnormal aortic arch, abnormal inner, middle, and outer ear morphology, abnormal lymphangiogenesis, and abnormal cranial base morphology. Heterozygous null mice display abnormal fourth aortic arch arteries. [provided by MGI curators] |
