Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and WD40-repeat domain binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; and hemopoiesis. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis. Orthologous to human MYB (MYB proto-oncogene, transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for deficient alleles of this gene display severe hematopoietic abnormalities. Red and white blood cells and platelets are all affected. [provided by MGI curators] |
