Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and retina. Orthologous to human ELK4 (ETS transcription factor ELK4). PHENOTYPE: Mutation of this locus impairs thymocyte positive selection and results in reduced numbers of single-positive thymocytes and peripheral T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
