Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 15384 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynapse; and presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human HNRNPAB (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal neuron differentiation, increased susceptibility to neuronal excitotoxicity and long neurites. [provided by MGI curators] |
