Primary Identifier | MGI:102564 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 18993 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables HMG box domain binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including metanephric nephron epithelium development; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and urea transmembrane transport. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; phalanx; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human POU3F3 (POU class 3 homeobox 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in death within 36 hours after birth. Mutant brains exhibit disorganized cells in the hippocampus and adjacent transitional cortex.
