| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including PERK-mediated unfolded protein response; positive regulation of biosynthetic process; and regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to copper ion; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; cataract; hepatocellular carcinoma; macular degeneration; and tuberculosis. Orthologous to human NFE2L2 (NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mice show increased sensitivity to oxidative stress in a variety of organs and cells, abnormal tooth enamel, altered response to various injuries, chemical treatments and induced inflammatory diseases, and an age-related decline in spermatogenesis and ovarian follicle numbers.
