description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and nuclear receptor coactivator activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; locomotor rhythm; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to Thyroglobulin triiodothyronine; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to progesterone. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; colorectal carcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and prostate adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human NCOA2 (nuclear receptor coactivator 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit a transient postnatal growth deficiency and hypofertility. Male hypofertility is due to defects in spermiogenesis and an age-dependent testicular degeneration preceded by defective lipid metabolism in Sertoli cells. Female hypofertility is due to a placental hypoplasia. [provided by MGI curators] |
