Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation and positive regulation of stem cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; nervous system; sensory organ; skeleton; and urinary system. Orthologous to human NR2E1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes have small brains, hypoplasia of cerebrum and olfactory lobes, thin optic layers, reduced retinal vessels and hydrocephaly on some genetic backgrounds. Mutants do poorly in sensorimotor tests, are aggressive and females lack maternal behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
