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 repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and methyl-CpG binding activity. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cell maturation involved in prostate gland development; prostate epithelial cord arborization involved in prostate glandular acinus morphogenesis; and regulation of growth. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; limb bud; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ductal carcinoma in situ and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human HOXB13 (homeobox B13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for loss of function mutations show overgrowth in all major structures derived from the tail bud. [provided by MGI curators] |
