| 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 chromatin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of myeloid cell differentiation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis; hemopoiesis; and lens morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study restless legs syndrome. Orthologous to human MEIS1 (Meis homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice die during gestation and exhibit eye, vasculature, and hematopoietic defects. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in HSCs exhibit altered bone marrow cell development, altered HSC physiology and increased reactive oxygen species production. Homozygosity for the p.R272H mutation affects sleeping behavior in aged mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
