| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; nervous system development; and ureter morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell projection. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; jaw; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human EMX2 (empty spiracles homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous disruption of this gene causes neonatal death, impaired urogenital development and malformation of several forebrain regions. Heterozygotes for a null allele show middle and inner ear defects. Homozygotes for an ENU-induced allele die neonatally with middle ear defects and small kidneys. [provided by MGI curators] |
