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 and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA-templated transcription and signal transduction. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; and urinary system. Used to study intellectual disability and schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 43. Orthologous to human HIVEP2 (HIVEP zinc finger 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display abnormal thymus anatomy, severely defective positive selection of CD4+ and CD8+ cells, and enhanced T-helper 2 cell differentiation.
