Primary Identifier | MGI:1334444 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 22762 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of female gonad development; positive regulation of cardiac muscle cell proliferation; and positive regulation of male gonad development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; in utero embryonic development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and heart and pericardium. Used to study congenital diaphragmatic hernia; tetralogy of Fallot; and tricuspid atresia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 9; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; myelodysplastic syndrome; and tetralogy of Fallot. Orthologous to human ZFPM2 (zinc finger protein, FOG family member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit cardiac defects, including absence of coronary vasculature, resulting in lethality between E12.5 and E15.5. Conditional mutations reveal errors in ovary and testis development. [provided by MGI curators] |
