Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis; embryonic limb morphogenesis; and lung development. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthropathy and ischiocoxopodopatellar syndrome. Orthologous to human TBX4 (T-box transcription factor 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit stunted, apoptotic allantoises lacking vascular remodeling, fail to undergo chorioallantoic fusion, lack hindlimb buds, and die by embryonic day 10.5. Heterozygotes show mildly impaired allantois growth. [provided by MGI curators] |
