Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 20747 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nuclear speck. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; lung; metanephros; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human SPOP (speckle type BTB/POZ protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit increased beta cell area and lethality between E18.5 and P1. [provided by MGI curators] |
