Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in genitourinary system; heart; and lung. Orthologous to human BCL6B (BCL6B transcription repressor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display decreased CD4+ and CD8+ cell numbers in the thymus. Homozygous mice for one null allele display decreased secondary responses of memory CD8+ T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
