| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; nervous system development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asbestos-related lung carcinoma; lung adenocarcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; lung small cell carcinoma; and syndromic microphthalmia 12. Orthologous to human RARB (retinoic acid receptor beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit reduced growth, but are otherwise normal. Rarb/Rara double knockouts exhibit impaired vitamin A signaling and develop urogenital malformations, including renal hypoplasia and hydronephrosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
