| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; beta-catenin binding activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular signaling cassette; kidney epithelium development; and positive regulation of morphogenesis of an epithelium. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; neurogenesis; and skeletal system development. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study campomelic dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in campomelic dysplasia; lung cancer; and lung carcinoma. Orthologous to human SOX9 (SRY-box transcription factor 9). PHENOTYPE: Null mutant heterozygotes and conditional knockout mutants display perinatal lethality with cleft palate, hypoplasia and distortion of numerous cartilage-derived skeletal structures, and premature mineralization in many bones. Specific conditional knockout mutations are sex-reversed. A heterozygous otic-vesicle-specific conditional gain-of-function mutation leads to various vestibular and hearing-related phenotypes.
