Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase I general transcription initiation factor activity; RNA polymerase I transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase I. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and transcription elongation by RNA polymerase I. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in childhood-onset neurodegeneration with brain atrophy. Orthologous to human UBTF (upstream binding transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality before implantation with embryonic growth arrest. [provided by MGI curators] |
