Primary Identifier | MGI:98216 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 20183 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables nuclear receptor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and retinoic acid receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; musculature; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RXRG (retinoid X receptor gamma). PHENOTYPE: Targeted disruption of exon 2 causes a 25% reduction of neurons in the striatum and may lead to premature death and altered responses to the administration of dopamine antagonists on some genetic backgrounds.
