Primary Identifier | MGI:101761 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 15364 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables minor groove of adenine-thymine-rich DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular senescence; positive regulation of angiogenesis; and positive regulation of cell proliferation in bone marrow. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including endocrine system development; lung development; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in male germ cell nucleus and nuclear chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb long bone; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Silver-Russell syndrome; leiomyoma; lipoma; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human HMGA2 (high mobility group AT-hook 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for null mutations exhibit proportionate dwarfing with a significant reduction in body weight, reduced amounts of fat tissue, and infertility in both sexes. Mutants have normal growth hormone levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
