Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nuclear thyroid hormone receptor binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in cholesterol homeostasis; negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and triglyceride homeostasis. Part of mediator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; early embryo; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder. Orthologous to human MED13 (mediator complex subunit 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele exhibited in the heart exhibit increased susceptibility to obesity and worsened glucose intolerance when fed a high fat diet.
