Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; epithelial cell maturation; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm; membrane; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; heart; and limb. Orthologous to human TFCP2L1 (transcription factor CP2 like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for either a knock-out or a gene-trapped allele display a phenotype characterized by postnatal growth retardation, renal hypoplasia, impaired maturation of the ducts in the salivary gland and kidney, abnormal composition of saliva and urine, and postnatal lethality.
