Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 56484 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and mitochondrial transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrial transcription; positive regulation of muscle atrophy; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; female gonad development; and negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Located in cytosol; mitochondrial outer membrane; and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Colocalizes with mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early embryo; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Used to study dermoid cyst of ovary. Orthologous to several human genes including FOXO3 (forkhead box O3). PHENOTYPE: Inactivation of the locus results in an ovarian defect involving follicular growth activation and leads progressively to female sterility. For some alleles defects in immune system function and hematopoiesis have also been reported. [provided by MGI curators] |
