Primary Identifier | MGI:3036234 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 208727 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including chromatin binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process and response to denervation involved in regulation of muscle adaptation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; osteoblast development; and regulation of myotube differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including actomyosin; cytosol; and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; forelimb; ganglia; and telencephalon. Used to study eating disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia; eating disorder; and retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human HDAC4 (histone deacetylase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit increased thermal nociception threshold and seizures. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit postnatal lethality, exencephaly, and abnormal skeleton morphology and physiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
