| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and response to hydroperoxide. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryo development; hemopoiesis; and mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; epithelium; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human SP1 (Sp1 transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display reduced embryo size and die during organogenesis with a broad range of developmental defects. Heterozygous null mice are viable but slightly growth retarded, may lack one or both eyes, and show a decreased erythroid progenitor cell number in fetal liver cultures. [provided by MGI curators] |
